What? You mean why the waiter is calmly looking down? He's just wondering if he'll be able to have McCluskey's veal. wink

Well, by the picture, Sollozo is dead, McCluskey, perhaps at his last breath, and Michael, well, his whole demeanor, if you recall is "calm". He simply stood up and shot. eek

As for the waiter, looks like his eyes are closed (perhaps in fear?).

To be honest, if I hadn't seen the picture just now, I wouldn't have remember the waiter standing right by the table. Good picture though. That's one of my favorite scenes.

I guess that the woman in the background was not an actress in the movie, but someone in the restaurant who must have been told to continue having dinner when they were shooting this scene. She must have got distracted and looked around to see what's happening in the scene. smile

ps: You may consider moving this thread to trilogy, it is not so off-topic cool

I think the customers were temporarily paralyzed by fear.

If I recall correctly, the patrons get up and shuffle quickly to the back of the restaurant. They are probably fearing that they will be next.

No, the customers didnt even notice the shooting. Remember this is a place where everyone minds their own business. Also they were probably rapt by experiencing the taste of the best veal in the city.

unless the veal was seasoned with anesthetics, the customers should have heard the shooting, though! lol

Weren't the extras who played restaurant patrons actually relatives of FFC?

They are 'extras'.

Pain-in-the-ass innocent bystanders.

We're not supposed to be concentrating on them; they were not meant to be the main focus of the scene.

But as Tessio said, everybody minds their own business at Louie's in Da Bronx.

Well didn't Tessio say it was a place where "people kept to themselves?"

They're just keeping to themselves.

Michael shoulda had a couple of more glasses of wine to calm him down. It would have also made them less suspicious when he had to go to the bathroom....I wonder if Louis salvaged that bottle and served it in a carafe to other customers, or merely used it as a marinade for the best veal in the city.

Clemenza said to Mike before he left to the restaurant that they would be "scared stiff" of him, so they just minded their buisness. Anyway, who was paying attention to the bystanders when they were watching the movie?


Hey, how's it going?
