Frankly, I would never see Clemenza in that situation being garroted by the Rosato brothers. Clemenza would never agree to meet them like that in the first place. He was smarter than Frankie and must have had too much respect as he was one of the highest ranking members in the Corleone family for over 30 years. Frankie was seen as "small potatoes". wink

It's like the Gallo brothers trying to garrot Carlo Gambino. It would never happen. If it would have happened like that in Part II, the movie would probably have failed.
