This would also assume that Mike and Kay were married immediately in 1951, yet Anthony was probably about three when Vito died, and then he was seven three years later in 1958.


I'm not sure I understand what point you're trying to make, dt.

For argument's sake, let's say that Anthony was born was in November, 1951 (his first communion party was held in November, 1958, probably his seventh birthday). Then in May or June, 1955, when the scene in the garden between Mike and Vito took place, Anthony would have been 3½ (although Mike said "three years old"). In November, 1958, when Part II's party took place, Anthony was seven.

The "math" works correctly.
