These are the cheek tweaks I observed.

The inappropriate one: Paulie -> Clemenza
The erotic one: Sonny -> Lucy
The lift up: Vito -> Johnny
The humiliation: Fanucci -> Vito.

It's always the same gesture. The one that I still don't really understand is Paulie's: "You look terrific on the dance floor." Is he drunk or what? I mean, Clemenza is his boss!

...and just like a lot of other employees in other big organizations, Paulie's trying to win favor by kissing the boss's ass.

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

There's also a foreshadowing scene there when Paulie eyes Connie's silk purse and wishes he could steal it.

"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"

"I stood in the courtroom like a fool."

"I am Constanza: Lord of the idiots."

...once a thief, always a thief.

As opposed to all the scrupulously law-abiding people we see in the trilogy. wink

Did any-one observe this gesture in GF III? Or in any other scene?

Kissing his ass? That's a different kind of cheek. whistle

Then there was the invisible cheek tweak when Luchese exhaled through his nose at Michael's face.

"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"

Didn't Vito "Tweak" Don Cicci's cheak right after he pulled the blade across his stomach?

Salute!
