It's supposedly Karo blood (made from Karo syrup with powdered red food coloring) according to **** Smith, the make-up artist for The Godfather. Part I was filmed on a shoestring budget (about US$6 million - very cheap in those days), so I suppose they used orange juice due to tight budget constraints.
