It wasn't just seeing a movie it was an exciting societal event and an amazing shared experience seeing .it in a packed theater. Sadly, William O'Malley (Father Dyer) is living out his last days in ignominy, another priest guilty of the scandal that plagues the Church. The Exorcist has been subjected to endless interpretations every which way and upside down, so love it or hate it ((as many feminist critics) you gotta admit this film has some kind of power. My kids think it's too slow till you get to the "good part". And like they say, you couldn't make this film nowadays. Loved seeing these photos, now I gotta make a pilgrimage.

One other location that has yet to be found is the retreat in the woods where Father Merrin is given the letter or summons to the MacNeil house to perform the exorcism by a young Jesuit scholastic. Since there are no landmarks to distinguish this area it could be anywhere, but since most of the shooting was in the New York area I am assuming it was done there. By the way, I did identify some locations in Mosul where the filming was done but they were destroyed by Isis during their occupation of the city. The tea house where Father Merrin is seen taking pills for his heart was across from the Nabi Yunis Mosque in central Mosul, which is believed to be where the prophet Jonah remains were buried. The Al Nuri Mosque and it's courtyard was also used in a scene where Merrin says goodbye to the museum curator after examining the artifacts that were found at the dig and tells him that he has to leave and return to America for there is something he must do.
