TB -
Do you think that Kay intentionally ignored Michael in that scene? I've always took it as if she didn't realize that he was behind her and that Michael chose not to go to her because he didn't know what to say regarding her "losing the baby." DC -- Kay had to know more or less when Michael was coming home, and she made no effort to greet him. Instead she sequestered herself with her back to the door and was doing some sewing (who knew she was a seamstress?). It was her way to show Michael she didnt want tto speak to him.

Ah how i could have forgot that moment, that was one of the best acted moment from the whole godfather movies. Pacino was incredible in that scene.

I am definitely with DC on this one. Granted, if my husband had been trapped in the Cuban Revolution, I might have been a bit more concerned about when he was returning than Kay seemed to be, but I think it was Michael who snuck out of the house without letting her know he was home. Perhaps they both wanted to avoid one another, but remember that Kay is sequestered at the compound, surrounded by Michael's people. If he doesn't want her to know that he's coming, then she doesn't know. Period. Point well taken SB, and it would be like Michael to appear unannounced (as he did at Pentangeli's house). This brings me to another silent moment right before the sewing machine scene, and which precedes it is a way that makes both scenes part of the narrative. Of course I am talking about the scene where Michael comes to the front door and sees Anthony's little car sitting there in the snow abandoned. By the look on his face Michael knows his son has seen through this little charade, and the following scene with Kay's back to him really drives it home.

I think the whole silent exchange at Mama Corleone's wake, between Michael and Neri, was particularly moving.
You can actually see Al show some humanity by lowering his eyes, as if to say, "I'll do it, but it's really a shame you have to do this to your own brother." I had a friend who, back in the 70s, mentioned that same Neri look. At the time I didn't agree, but now I do.

Michael walking through the snow to see the toy car buried, and un-used.
-In my HOME!!! In my BEDROOM WHERE MY WIFE SLEEPS!! Where my children come and play with their toys. In my home.
-My father taught me many things here -- he taught me in this room. He taught me -- keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
