Who other then Johnny Ola was the worse dresser? First he shows up in Tahoe, wearing a topcoat and fedora while everyone else is in warm weather dress. After that all we see him in is that cheesey orange outfit he wore both in Miami and at the night club in Cuba!

I'm not sure I would want to wear Fredo's plaid jacket that he wore at the communion party.

Good point.....no denying that Fredo's choice of clothing, was to say the least, quite flashy. I would call it "The tourist in Florida look."

Slightly off topic- Lee Strasberg had the Florida retiree outfit down to a science. It hasn't changed in 50 years.

Plus, he had the pecs to go bare-chested.

I guess you didn't know that Roth, in his youth, was the model for the Charles Atlas ad about the bully who kicked sand in someone's face: "BUNK! I will make you into a real HE-MAN!"

They should have shot another scene with Roth taking Mike to Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House for some great corned beef.

Speaking of Roth, a couple of years ago a Board member posted some scenes from the Trilogy with comical captions to them. One showed the bare-chested Roth telling Michael "I'm bigger than US Steel." Does anyone remember in which thread those pictures reside?

Speaking of Roth, has anyone noticed the big flowered wallpaper that Roth had in his Cuba room being similiar to the flowered wallpaper Frankie Pentangeli had at the army base?

Well, Michael was partial to Joe's Stone Crab, but after all, old Hyman was Kosher.

I think they all could have taken some fashion advice from Morty Seinfeld. He was, after all, the fashion plate of Del Boca Vista, Phase II.

I agree, plus he rode around in a Cadillac, and was the president of the condo association, until he started to avoid the early birds! He was then forced to leave in shame just like Nixon......

They're actually closing the Rascal House (at least the one on Collins Avenue). Putting up another Epicure. Yum.

That's too bad about Wolfie's.

Talk about a landmark!

So can we conclude that Jewish mob bosses dress their women in nicer dresses then Italian mob bosses?

How about Kay's hair throughout? Especially at the end of GF1 and when she tries to leave Michael in GF2.

Yeah, and they take their wives to Florida, too. Italian Mob bosses' wives are stuck in freezing New York, cookin' the macaronies with the gravy...

While the nice Jewish wives only have to make tuna sandwiches....just goes to show Deanna's advice about which ethnic group a woman should never marry may have had merit.
Speaking of Deanna and bad dressing what was with the fur at a springtime party in Tahoe?

It was another FFC authenticity touch. In the Fifties, a mink coat or stole was the ultimate status symbol for wealthy women (or women who wanted to appear wealthy). They wore their minks on every and any occasion, in any and every season. One of my crime books shows a picture of opening night at Meyer Lansky's Riviera Hotel in Havana (1958). Even in that steamy tropical climate, every woman in the picture is wearing a mink stole.

Except when she asked Mike for money to book passage on the Queen, I never thought she really looked that hot! She always looked like she should have been with a club fighter from Philly.

Keep in mind that the hairstyles were consistent with the 40s, 50s, and 60s. They all looked pretty nice to me.

Re: Worse Dresser. - 08/20/07 06:01 PM

In GFII Michael wears the same striped tie in almost every scene.
Was Kay to busy whining to go out and get him a couple more ties, or did she really just go for that "Common Mafia Hood" look?

Re: Worse Dresser. - 08/20/07 07:02 PM

She only bought ties for Fredo.

Don Corleone was wearing a very unattractive suit when he was meeting Virgil Sollozzo in The Godfather.

In GF 2 when Kay tells Mike about the abortion she is wearing a thing around her neck that hangs down between her breasts. I wouldn't call it a necklace, but it is the biggest, gaudiest piece of ..?? It looks like it could be used to signal planes or emit noises. \:\/

It was a Sicilian Thing Michael had given to her.

My dear dontomasso: your remark concerning the Sicilian Thing that Michael had given to Kay is, without a doubt, the most sidesplitting comment I have heard anybody make in weeks. Thank you for the last fifteen minutes of nearly uninterrupted laughter!

Now, to toss my two cents in: that orange jumpsuit Carlo wore was absolutely ghastly!
