A New York World-Telegram "Police Hunt Cop Killer" newspaper from Francis Ford Coppola's Academy Award®-winning gangster epic The Godfather. New York World-Telegram newspapers were seen at the beginning of the atmospheric montage known as the "going to the mattresses" sequence that signified the beginning of the Corleone family going to war against the Five Families. The montage took place after Michael (Al Pacino) shot Virgil Sollozzo (Al Lettieri) and Captain McCluskey (Sterling Hayden) in an Italian restaurant. This sequence was edited by George Lucas, who, as a favor to Coppola, asked not to be credited.

Printed on newspaper stock, the newspaper consists of two printed outer pages and two blank interior pages. It features the headline "Police Hunt Cop Killer" along with a photograph of a genuine crime scene and several articles. This newspaper is in good overall condition, with light discoloration, creasing and a small rip on the front. Dimensions: (unfolded) 22.75" x 17.25" (58 cm x 43.5 cm)

Estimate: $10,000 - 15,000
