Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with two absolutely gorgeous black and white pictures taken during the making of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather!
I could be mistaken, but these images don't look to me to be from the unit photographer. This looks like someone captured these pictures while the crew was out filming in public. We're used to that now that everybody has a camera on their phone, but if you were just out and about in the '70s and happened to have a camera on you when you stumbled across a film set odds are you knew how to use it, so the quality of the pictures are going to turn out great.
Or this was the stills photographer on set just taking farther away shots and I'm making huge assumptions. Either way, these are two gorgeous shots.
The first shows makeup legend Dick Smith touching up Brando's hair (Marlon's back is to us) and the second shows Coppola chatting with his star. Enjoy!
Tomorrow's pic comes from the making of my favorite Bond flick! See ya' then!
