OK, I'm back (couldn't stay away ).

When Michael mentions to Moe Green that Moe slapped Fredo around in public, Fredo looks embarrassed. How do you think Michael found out about this? I guess the Corleones would have eyes all over Las Vegas, but do you think Fredo also reported this to Michael? ("That Moe Green is a real hothead. He even smacked me a couple of times.")

However, with all those macho mafia types in the room, their imaginations might be picturing Fredo in another way ("wah! Moe Green hit me... sniff sniff"), so it's no wonder Fredo would be discomfitted. But regardless, why would Michael even mention that he knew about these assaults in front of all those other people in the room? Why wouldn't he confront Moe privately about it?

Well, I guess I know that Michael's not thinking of Fredo's feelings at this time; but I'd still like to know what others think of this.
