So this weekend I was all alone and decided to have my own Godfather trilogy party. I've seen 1 & 2 about a million times and have been a member of this site for a while but one thing that came to me while watching GF1 - why do the newspapers run the story of VITO CORLEONE getting shot? Was he that much a big shot? Who was he so important to? I mean, yes I know it was the lead in for the movie, but would the public have cared?
Just curious
