hi all... long time reader here ..this is a great thread.I always got a kick out of young Vito and Genco going to the opera/play where the actor on stage gets word after about 2 minutes that his "mama morte".(forgive spelling..I know there is another word in there somewhere).I love when the audience gasps..they had absolutely no chance to get emotionally involved with any of the chracters...maybe its not funny but at least noteworthy!!!
