We know Anthony was in the middle of law school when he dropped out, but we never have a clue about what education Mary had. In fact Mary's character seems as dumb as a box of rocks. She knows nothing about business, she doesnt seem to have any interest other than in whining to her father and lusting for Vincent. I do not want this thread to be a bashing Sofia Coppola deal, but shouldnt FFC have put more depth into this character...some kind of back story? She went to the School Of Culinary Arts. She specialized in making fresh Gnocchi!!! Very good point DonT. In all seriousness if I had to guess, I would say that she went to a business school/college. After all Michael was setting up all these charities, his Vito Andolini fund,etc. and it looked as though Mary was going to be the one to run these organizations. So if I had to guess, I would say that she majored in business. Strictly Business! Don Cardi

She confessed to Vincent that she didnt know how to cook, so the only businesss going on with the gnocchi was monkey business. As for her being a business major, the dialogue between Mary and Michael is telling... "Tony says that I'm a front for the foundation...That you're using me to pull the strings. To get the money where you want it." Michael denies this, and Mary continues "What is this really for? Why are you doing this? Why am I doing this?" and then.. "Dad I want this to bring me closer to you." Does that sound like a business major? Wouldn't a business major have read the documents and asked more incisive questions?? DC, my good friend, the dead give away is the "Why am I doing this?" This is proof positive that she majored in philosophy at some extremely LIBERAL college, where she also probably learned that communism was better than capitalism. DC, your slippin. Five ten years ago wouldn't you have gotten to me with an observation like this?
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"

Considering the tipoff that her Michael allowed Kay to oversee the children's education...that is an extremely insightful observation. Considering that however, it's also amazing that Kay would have allowed Michael to use Mary as a 'front' in the way he did. Yet another gaping flaw in the rotten egg we've come to know as Godfather Part III. Apple
