I grew up not that far away from the house, and remember when the movie was being shot.

Although on Staten Island, I believe that in the film, the house would have been in Long Beach, Long Island. Is that correct? I base this on Michael's call to the house when his father is in the hospital and the exchange was LOng Beach.

One more thing about GF1: When Michael is being driven to the sitdown with Sollozzo and McClusky at Louis' Restaurant, there's a scene where they're heading first to New Jersey (before the U-turn occurs). What bridge is that? The George Washington over to Fort Lee?

• The car scene over the George Washington Bridge with Michael, Sollozzo and McCluskey was reportedly filmed in a studio, but was likely the 59th Street Bridge. I'm guessing the interior shots of the car were in a studio.

For those interested, Godfather 1 scene locales HERE
