Thanks, Oli, but it was dt who said that Fredo thought Michael forgave him at Mama's wake (and I agree with both of you).

As for Connie: I've speculated (and it's a real longshot) that Connie knew Michael had Fredo whacked. But she may have had something akin to a mental overload, blaming herself for insisting that Michael forgive Fredo and take him back--in effect, helping to put him in a deathtrap. So, the only way she could live with that knowledge was to put herself in a permanent state of denial. Earlier, she experienced the horror of Michael having her husband whacked on the day he stood godfather to Anthony--after she begged Michael to let Carlo be godfather. A lot to deal with...


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
