It was so bad the commissary made him eat the gun, and let the cannoli go to waste.

Back in 1969 as Woodstock was going on in upstate New York I was sitting in the kitchen of the house they shot the film in on Staten Island. It was the only time I was in the house, but at that time there was no wall at all around the block. It was fake and built for the movie.
Another small footnote, while you're watching the wedding scene look for a big guy with a beard dressed as one of the waiters in a red vest. His name was Jack Dameian. Jack owned the Hofbrau on Staten Island and catered the movie so they gave him a walk on.

Coppola seems to do incredibly well when faced with total hell during production. The Godfather, The Conversation, and Apocalypse Now were all produced under trying circumstances, but these are the only three of his films that can be considered masterpieces.
