Every Stop Has a Story

The Corleone Compound

Coppola's crew wrapped this real Staten Island home in a fake stone wall and gate to create the Corleone compound for Connie's wedding.

The Barzini Hit

Barzini is gunned down on these courthouse steps by Al Neri, who in the story is a former cop and wears his old police uniform to get close.

Genco Pura Olive Oil

Vito Corleone is shot outside the Genco Olive Oil office here after stopping to buy oranges, one of the film's most famous scenes.

The Baptism Cathedral

Coppola's baby daughter Sofia plays the infant being christened here, as Michael renounces Satan while his enemies are murdered across the city.

The Corleone Funeral

Vito Corleone's funeral was filmed in this vast Queens cemetery, where around three million New Yorkers are buried within sight of Manhattan.

Luca Brasi's Walk

Luca Brasi slips in through this hotel's back entrance on his way to meet Sollozzo, a meeting he does not survive.

Michael and Kay's Date

Michael and Kay leave Radio City after a Christmas movie, only to see a newspaper headline saying Vito has been shot.

The Elevator Hit

Michael and Kay check in to this grand hotel, and its barbershop and an elevator killing in the baptism montage were filmed here too.
