Turnbull, Doesn't the Corleone's relationship with Constentine have something to do with Vito and Mama naming thier daughter Constantine aka Connie?

Five - ten years from now, they're gonna wish there was American Cosa Nostra. Five - ten years from now, they're gonna miss John Gotti.

Don Sicilia, that is exactly why the deleted scene should NOT have been taken out. When Vito sees Fannuci get his throat slit by those two kids, Vito realizes that Fanuucci is not all that connected and powerful after all, and can be taken out. Yes I agree that the book does a much better job translating this to the veiwer, but at least if that scene was left in the original movie, it would have given some creedance as to why Vito realized that he could take Fanucci out of the picture.

My only hesitation is that from an average viewer's point of view (seeing it for the first time without having read the book), that is a pretty difficult connection to make - seeing Fanucci's weakness in dealing with those thugs and Vito's ultimate decision to take him out. Remember, how Fanucci was bribed not to take his revenge was NOT filmed. In the book, it was Vito's reaction to this act, not the actual act of getting his throat slashed, that led him to believe that Fanucci was a weak man.

The throat-slashing scene, in my opinion, would have felt out of place had it been left in. Of course, we, who appreciate it so much, have made the jump, but I don't think the average viewer would have.
