The Godfather II (1974) 0 stars
I think there was more to be had cricket-wise here than some mafia related tale. To be fair, I did nod off for most of it, so if there were cricket bits in there I missed them. The bits I saw did not mention cricket or even WG Grace at all. Grace was possibly the single most important factor in making cricket England's summer sport - in over 800 games he scored over 50,000 runs and took 2809 first class wickets at 18.14. He was the 'Godfather' of our national summer sport, but Francis Ford Coppola missed this point entirely. Perhaps I should have watched Godfather I first?
