Film4 broadcast of 'The Godfather' (from Coppola' Restoration of the uncut theatrical) (Released)

This appears to have been sourced from the Coppola Restoration of the uncut theatrical release but what makes this broadcast really interesting is that Film4 have provided their own subtitles for the Sicilian/Italian dialogue - which contain slight differences and also extra detail than the standard ones.

They’ve also provided translations for scenes that (to my knowledge) are not subtitled in any officially available version of the theatrical release, such as the conversation between Michael and Sollozzo during the restaurant scene and for the sequences in Sicily.

I’ve edited out the commercial breaks, retaining only the title card graphics for the channel because of keyframe issues and the closing credits contain a lower third, plus a voiceover from the continuity announcer but it’s a minor issue imho.
