I think one of the things that has always fascinated me about GF 1 & 2 is the attention to period detail, both in the general look of the films and in the smaller things that might pass unnoticed at first.

FFC's fanatical attention to period detail is one of the main reasons I keep watching GF and II--always find something new and delightful. Re. posters: note the LaMotta/Bell fight poster next to the fruit pushcart just before Vito gets shot. Also notice the "Dewey for President" poster when Sonny beats up Carlo. Also notice the Layanda Line and Arincino Cinzano posters outside Sr. Vitelli's cafe.
