Sofia Coppola was forced into the role of Al Pacino's daughter at the last minute when Winona Ryder became ill and was unable to take part in the film. Sofia had played Al Pachino's nephew as an infant in The Godfather. Her character's aunt is played by her real-life aunt, Talia Shire. Many viewers however, felt that Sofia Coppola got the part only because she was the director's daughter, and however incorrectly this perception is this is one of the most famous examples of perceived nepotism.
Unlike Godfathers Part I and II, Godfather Part III was not critically acclaimed, and fans remain mixed on its legacy.

Admittedly, "The Godfather" I and II, which are universally acclaimed as among the greatest works of the American cinema, are a tough act to follow; a very good film might be put alongside them and still not measure up.
For the most part, though, he busies himself by paying attention to the details of playing an older man -- Michael is around 60 -- and goes not much deeper than that.
Still, the part is a relatively small one, and her failure -- contrary to much that has already been written -- contributes very little to what is actually wrong with the film.
The Godfather, PartIII (1990) is the third film in the Godfather trilogy.
Parts of the film are very loosely based on real historical events concerning the ending of the Papacy of Paul VI and the very short Papacy of John Paul I in 1978 and the collapse of the Banco Ambrosiano in 1982.
In addition to this, The GodfatherpartIII is recurringly parodied on the series with jokes such as "This movie is worse than the GodfatherIII!" [in reference to a film co-produced by Homer Simpson and Mel Gibson.], and a secret bootleg videotape whose cover reads "The GodfatherIII: Good version".
