The Brush

during the meeting with sollozzo, before vito sits and after he pours sollozzo another drink, vito brushes sollozzo's knee to clear off something...................................... great moment. (The End)

Yes, great moment, a great representation of how Vito was-ahhhhh Vito, the good ol' days

Probably a spontaneous Brando gesture: trying to show that Vito was playing "Mr. Humble," both to soften the blow that he was about to deliver to Sollozzo ("I must say no to you"), partly in his perpetual quest to have his enemies (and potential enemies) underestimate him.

Yeah I would say Brando probably noticed some dust, or fuzz or hair on his pants, and brushed it off,nothing to debate into the wee hours of the morning about.

Many months ago I posted a topic "Sollozzo's Lint" regarding this observation. I watched the scene sometime after that and I wondered if Vito dropped a bit of annisette on Sollozzo and then brushed it off. I'll have to freeze that frame.

Bah, I forsee another "Sonny is Gay!?!"-esque thread.

Ok I have to ask....Sonny is gay???? Wtf? How on earth did that get started?

Loooooong story. BTW where is that thred? I have searched, but I cant come up w/ anything.

That thread, along with many others from the "early days" of the boards had to be deleted in order to make more room for newer discussion threads.

Damn that was a funny one. I had a feeling thats what happened to it.

Are we not going to get the full story? That's such a tease.
