I don't mean to freak anyone out, but there is a woman's face on the right side of the screen at the 2:34:35 mark of "The Godfather" and I'm not talking about Kay. If I knew how to paste a screen shot I would. The face is much more evident on my Tosh 65H80 than on my computer monitor, but there is no doubt it is there and I don't think it is supposed to be there.
The scene is when Tessio asks to have a word with Michael at his father's funeral. The camera is close in on Michael and when he stands up his dark suit completely covers the screen. Bingo there she is! Replay the scene and you will notice the image even before Michael stands up. She is there again at the 2:35:15 mark, but actually first appears 2:34:12 mark in the same position.
I've thought about several possibilities, but would love your input. If it is a reflection, then of who and how? I don't understand how a reflection could occur in that scene unless it occurred in post production. But if in post production, then who and how? How about a visual echo, kind of like a lens flair works, but with a face?
I'm open to suggestions.
Peace,
