Well, this was close to a religious experience. I just returned from visiting the Corleone "Mall". I can't believe how the house still looks exactly as it did 30+ years ago in the movie. (Minus the fake stone walls) Here are a couple of pictures. If anyone want the full-sized, high resolution pics, just message me. Feel free to use them as you like.

The only thing surprising is that the house isn't really that big. It's much smaller than expected. It does have a very large piece of property though.

Great Pics. Is that the house that they filmed in, or did they film on a set?

It was real strange feeling being on that block, being able to get so close to the house, and walking
where some great scenes were filmed. I imagined what is was like when they were filming some of the wedding scenes right where I was walking. smile

I believe most, if not all of the indoor scenes were a set.

It seems to me that the Don's office was pretty much the entire house. The Don's office was a HUGE room, that's what made you believe that the rest of the house was bigger.

Yeah, it seems the only rooms on the first floor were Vito's den, the kitchen and the small living room. I don't think we ever got that much of a look of the upstairs. I don't think the house was that big.

Nope, here in America the dog lives in the house and the people live outside tongue LOL I couldn't help myself grin

I would imagine people live there, I did about a year ago for the house and it said someone was living there.

Nice job, JL!

I wonder if the "Beware of Dog" sign means theres a real dog there or is just to keep sight-seers away.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

There were no signs of people or a dog. In fact, that gate wan't even closed. I had to fight temptation to walk in.

Nice Pics!!!! grin


So tell me something, besides getting the urge to walk in, did you yell out ".... get off your asses..."

I believe that right next door, at 120 Longfellow, the wedding scene was shot on those grounds.


Don Cardi cool

I heard that the wedding was filmed at 120, but after being there, I can tell you the outdoor wedding party was definitely filmed at 110. In the bottom picture, you can see a small stone wall that surrounds the large yard at 110 Longefellow. In the movie, there was a fake large stone wall around it. It is clearly shown from above, during the begining of the wedding. 120 Longfellow is at the end of the block. The only scene in the movie that I know is filmed from this location is when Mike, Tom and a few others are standing outside when Carlo is killed. They are standing in front of 120, and as Carlo is driven off, Mike walks over to 110.

Yes, but due to server limits, I can only post a couple. In fact, the server is about to hit the 100MB, 24 hour limit. I guess a lot of people are looking at them. Anyone that wants them, just email me. They are quite large though.

I'm trying a new server that supposedly has unlimted
bandwidth. Here's a few more pictures. If it works, I'll move the other pictures. In the bottom two pictures is the large yard where the wedding took place.

WOW! What great shots! I suppose I have permission to add them to the GF site, right? smile

Did you get any of 120 Longfellow, or any other GF locations?

BTW - Those shots are beautiful! What camera do you have??



I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! tongue lol

Yes. But it's not really a driveway. The stone gate, fence and sometimes "chain" were just added in the middle of the street. The house is near the end of a
dead end. They made the entire end of the street the "Corleone Mall". In the top pictures you see a view looking down the street where the fake stone gate/chain went across.

I didn't take any of 120 Longfellow. There wasn't much to see of it. I should have taken some more pictures of 110 Longfellow's large yard where the wedding was shot. Oh well. Next trip. I think I was hypnotized from actually standing in front of the house, and standing on the same spot where so many stars walked in and out during the movie. That was the only GF location I took. I took a quick ride over there this afternoon. Took about 30 minutes from my house. My camera is nothing special. It's a Kodak DX6340 3.1 mega pixel with 4X zoom. Feel free to do what you want with the pictures.
