Wow. Beautiful house.
“There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close but your enemies closer.”
I saw that today in the Post.

I particularly like the un-mentioned pistol range in the basement. :-)
I heard that Francis Ford Copella built this huge fake wall all around the property for the filming. It was meant to make the “estate” look much bigger and grander than it really is.
Bump...
Either their brains or their signature will be on the contract.
Here's the picture of the bedroom.
Horsehead sold separately. ;o)
MICHAEL:
This was my father’s old study.
When I was a kid, we had to be
quiet when we played near here.
When I was older, I learned many
things from him here. I was happy
that this house never went to
strangers; first Clemenza took it
over, and then you. My father
taught me, in this room, never to
act until you know everything
that’s behind things. Never.
I grew up not that far away from the house, and remember when the movie was being shot.
My music teacher, Nino Morreale, actually was in the movie. He's playing clarinet in the band in the first row over Vito's left shoulder in the opening wedding scene.
