Sorry, I didn't know.

..just kidding. You have the BEST atvair. wish I had one

It would look better if I hadn't reduced the file size so much, but I didn't want to clog up the boards with an 80k avatar.

I used to use the freeware program "Microsoft Animation Shop" which is pretty crappy, but gets you started for more advanced (and more expensive) programs like Paint Shop Pro and Animation Shop. Actually, PSP is about $300, and AS comes free with it (which is how I went), but you can pick up Animation Shop for about $35 on their website (I believe it's www.jascsoftware.com)

The woman behind Tom is his wife, Theresa, not Sandra. The image reflected on Michael's black suit is Mama Corleone, no doubt about it. The reflection is caused by the lateral lighting (there was no time to try other angles) on the camera's lenses.

I wonder how it got on the film....

Oh, sorry, didn't catch your post in time.

I noticed this on an HBO screening about three weeks ago or so. I'd never seen it before in any other Godfather incarnation. I recently recorded it on DirecTV/TiVo. The image is very clear. However, there are two parts: the first when Michael gets up to chat with Tessio and the second when he sits down after talking to Tessio. When he sits down the woman's face is different looking than the woman's face when he stands up. In addition, there is a strange squiggle that is evident in the upper right hand corner of the screen just as Michael completes standing up. What's the latest on this?

Hmm i think it looks like either Gene simmons of Kiss or it could be a reflection off the camera lens of Harry houdini's wife.

This happened once before in a made for t.v. movie starring Valeri bertinelli. In the movie The Face of eddie Van Halen shows up for a second pounding a heineken beer!

IM NOT ALONE!!! Every time I watch it on my older VHS version I see it but never thought anything of it. On my copy its there for a couple of seconds.

Damn! Now that i look at it. I think it looks like Luca brasi In Drag! Shit!

I don't know enough about movie making to describe what's going on here, but all during this scene you see what I call the "sunshine" on the screen. Numerous times you can see the light playing funny tricks and distorting the light. But of course the "face" is the spooky part... personally I don't think it's any of the characters, Mama Corleone included.

It is Mama Corleone, they said she was sliced in it somehow because she was next to him or something of the sort.

If I recall FFC said it occurred because of the quick editing of that scene accentuated by a reflection from the lens...or something like that. But one thing is for sure, it's mama corleone.

yeah i never noticed this until reading about it here, even then it took me a while. but last time i watched it, i saw it through that entire scene... strange

Man! this is really freakin me out...It looks like rosi o'donnald

The first I've heard of it was on the web site. Then I payed attantion to scene and sure enough there it was I don't think it could be Kay. It doesn't look like her.
This is what I love in the web site: you can always learn new stuff plus it makes watching the movies more fun like in this case or detecting oranges

Its Mama...double expose film...I like to trip people out about it when I show it to them....

I find this womens face to be that of vito's widow and this is just an error that was spotted to late to edit if anyone agrees I would like to hear from you but it has been interesting to read all the other suggestions.

All of yeah are late to see that.that is AL PACINO moms.

I always thought it was just a Production error

Bringing this back up because I was reminded that this was NOT fixed during the Restoration. How they didn't notice it is beyond me.

I think, the reflection has become a myth in itself. So it's an inherent part of the movie.

Yeah, it was, IMO, deliberately left in the restoration.

Given the technical opportunities these days, the could have even re-destroy Sonny's windshield digitally

So there is still no real explanation for the "ghostly image"?

i wonder if this is on snopes.com along with the munckin haning it self on set of wizard of 0z, three men and a baby ghost, and mr ed is a zebra myth.
