Remember in GF2...he says to Genco about his girlfriend...."She is beautiful.....to you she is beautiful, for me there is only my wife and kids." He was a moral man when it came to his wife, he did not allow her to get mixed up into his illegal business, so she would not get in trouble, he was more concerned about his family and their survival, rather than cheating on his wife or hanging with other girls. He also scolds Sonny for fooling around after the Sollozzo meeting. You notice Mike never strayed from Kay after they were married.......I think that is more from his pop then Sonny's behavior.
The Bull!!!
"...you straightened my brother out??"
"Give him a living, but never discuss the family business in front of him."

Michael didn't know how long he would be in Sicily....he didn't even know if he would be able to ever go back. Kay was just his girlfriend.....he broke up with her before he joined Sonny and the family.....he didn't want her to be involved. I am sure he didn't want to live alone in Sicily........but he never cheated.

BTW, don't you think the GF (both the book and the movies, possibly but GF3 that is a little more direct IMO) is quite reserved (if not puritan tout court ) when it comes to love and, most of all, sex? My opinion is it would have been better to deal a bit more with these topics: it would have helped us understand everyone's psychology better. All in all, we only know Sonny was quite sexually exuberant, but I got this feeling Sonny's character is more a caricature when it comes to that peculiar facet.
What is everyone's thought?

What is everyone's thought? People were more reserved in the 70's and that idea would not fly with the studio. I also think it would undermine the movie if they included the deleted Mike / Kay hotel room fooling around scene.

Originally posted by Remember Vito Andolini: I also think it would undermine the movie if they included the deleted Mike / Kay hotel room fooling around scene. On the contrary, I believe it would have added warmth and humanity to Michael's character, especially in contrast with the cold-hearted Don he was to become later.
