I, too, love this publicity still, PP. I have a 16x24 blowup of it in my home. But I agree with you; I would've HATED to see Michael dressed like this in any of the movies. It would have been very tacky and cheapened the character, like he was trying to emulate Paul Muni or George Raft, thirty years after the fact. There was no reason for Michael to dress or act like a "wannabe." He was in the bloodline; a Prince, if you will.

And I believe that's pretty much the same outfit Al's wearing in the pizzeria shot .
