[quote=Frank_Nitti][/quote] Now hang on a second.. I agree that Micheal, Connie (& Merle), Frankie, Deanna (obviously), were all drinking VERY heavily. We've never known Michael to drink at all, yet he has several drinks throughout that party. However, Fredo is a different story all together. Compared to his condition at Connie's wedding he was completely sober. The Fredo at Connie's wedding and the Fredo at Anthony's communion are two VERY different ppl......almost night and day in fact. He's stone faced and alert during those opening scenes at Anthony's party, his mind is cluttered, and it's not only cluttered with thoughts of his drunken-slut wife. Johnny Ola is going to be at the party, so Fredo has to be very careful not to let on that they know each other. Yes, yes... I'm quite certain that Fredo had things other than alcohol on his mind that day, a LOT of things
but nitti, also remember that fredo was drunk at the bar in cuba watching the superman show and ley slip about ola and roth knowing about tha bar and going there. how much more could he have had to drink at either one. at anthonys party you could assume that he was drinking at the house all night long. at the bar scene we only see them arriving just in time or shortly before for supermans show. unless they were bar hoping which is not shown or alluded to, how juch did fredo have at the bar or how strong were the drinks or is fredo a light weight when he drinks. he makes those comments loud enought for the whole group to hear knowing mike would hear when he already told mike he didnt know or never met ola or roth, when he makes those comments and turns around and would have had to see how close mike was standing to him.
