A nice touch, though, is the addition of archival footage featuring Frank Sheeran and Jimmy Hoffa and apparently used as references for the film. Sheeran’s footage (running 6-minutes) comes from recordings author Charles Brandt made for his novel, “I Heard You Paint Houses.” The excerpts showcase Sheeran talking about his alleged involvement in the Hoffa disappearance along with his general methodology behind hits (or “painting houses”). He also shows off his watch (from Hoffa) and his ring (from Russell Bufalino). Carrera, Catherine (September 17, 2017). "Film crew shoots scenes for Martin Scorsese's 'The Irishman' in Paterson".

Crombie also ran a variation on the tall poppy argument, noting that the reaction to the film internationally had been more positive, with some critics saying it had a "Fordian quality, and with it being selected for a good range of festivals: On return from the location survey, Donald Crombie revised the screenplay and the search for the team of 20 Clydesdales began. We didn't have to search far. In Brisbane we found Don Ross, horsemaster and 20 Clydesdales, eight of which were already working as a team. Don didn't even blanch when we said we wanted to film at Charters Towers.The film was shot in 1.85:1 using Panavision cameras, with lots of camera movement and actor choreography, rather than rapid editing, which might help explain reviewer complaints about a leisurely pace. Crombie says he deliberately shot the landscapes wide in the John Ford style to create a sense of characters in space. Barfield, Charles (December 6, 2019).
