In Vito's funeral scene, there are a few flashes of what looks like a reflection of a woman on the frame. How did that get there? Is there any significance to it? Did it get cleaned up in the restoration process?

During Vito's funeral, when Michael stands up to talk to Tessio, the face of Mama can be briefly seen under his arm, tinted orange-red and chewing gum. After Roger Ebert reported this in his "Movie Answer Man" column in 2001, Francis Ford Coppola and Kim Aubry investigated: they confirmed that King was not supposed to be in the shot, but had gotten into it by an accidental reflection in the optics, probably off a filter (hence the tint) in the matte box. source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068646/goofs
