Francis Ford Coppola re-edited the two films together adding some previously unseen footage, but also toned down the violence, sex and language for a television audience. Some scenes included that were not in the theatrical versions of the film include Don Fanucci being attacked by street thugs, Vito Corleone's first encounter with Hyman Roth, Vito killing two of the thugs who worked for Don Ciccio and were instrumental in his family's death, Michael's reunion with his father after his return from Sicily, and Sonny's taking charge of the family after his father is severely wounded. The previously deleted scenes totaled almost 75 minutes.
The Godfather Saga is also known as The Godfather: The Complete Novel For Television, The Godfather: A Novel for Television, The Godfather Novella and The Godfather 1901-1959: The Complete Epic. Coppola reportedly did this project to raise money for Apocalypse Now, which was severely over-budget at the time.
