    One of the greatest of all production designers. Picture the streets of old Little Italy, Fredo and Michael in Cuba, the Tahoe lake house in Godfather Part II. Not to mention a dozen other Coppola films, and, of course, Bonnie and Clyde. RIP Dean Tavoularis. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

    It takes place in Chinatown. It's similar to Little Italy. But Chinese. Really great movie TBH, especially when you view Kurt Russel as the dumb white sidekick

    The Naked City (1948) would be a kind of mediocre film noir except for the fact that it was actually filmed on the streets of New York instead of on a set. It's so amazing to see Little Italy, the LES, and the Williamsburg Bridge in motion in the 1940s (and a cameo by Yiddish film star Molly Picon)!
