I know that most will say Luca Brasi, and he would be my first choice also. But I would also have loved to see more background on Pentangelli. Such a charasmatic character.

We know her as patient, loving, loyal and yet never really get to see much interaction between her and the others. I'd like to have seen more scenes between her and Vito in their later years, to see how they related to each other. TIS "Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

Everyone talks about his role in ROCKY, but if you ever have the chance, check him out in a heist film called COPS & ROBBERS. "Difficult....not impossible"

Fredo led a rather interesting life and I would want to see more of his. Expecially in his whore-house running days Send the car for me too, mama

I would say though the two caporegimes liked Michael the best because he didn't give them any problems, as connie was spoiled and they probably didn't want Sonny to be their Don.

Mike and Vito were both smart.Sonny was closer to his father(i think) than any of the other boys. Fredo had none of that. If winners never lose, well, then a loser sure can sing the blues.

I would have also liked to see his reaction in the film after the horse's head was lopped off, as the book delved into. Not just the screaming - in particular, the call to Hagen.
