Michael did see the shooters because you see him react and start toward Kay a moment before the bullets start flying.
Theurbanpolitico discussion of possible culprits was thoughtful. I'd say that most people here believe Fredo opened the drapes. Yes, he told Michael that "I swear to God I didn't know it was gonna be a hit." And, Ola may have given him some BS story that they were going to scare Michael or kidnap him, which Fredo accepted because Ola probably promised him that he'd be the head of the family afterward. But, what other "help" could Fredo have given Ola and Roth other than opening the drapes? He wasn't privy to the Cuba discussions or anything else of substance--too busy picking people up at the airport and running Mickey Mouse nightclubs. He did have access to the house, and could have opened the drapes.
Some people here think Rocco may have been the culprit, probably because Michael sent him on that one-way mission to kill Roth. I don't think so.

Didn't the Roth assassination take place after the attempted assassination of Mike? Didn"t Rocco sort of "volunteer" for the contract on Roth? As TB points out, some Board members have their chronology of events wrong. By the way, I am convinced that Fredo opened the drapes based on his statement to Michael that Roth told him that he would only try to scare Michael. Also, Rocco did volunteer; there was no penance agenda involved.

Did Fredo say that Roth told him he would only try to scare Michael??? Here's the transcript: FREDO I didn't know it was gonna be a hit Mike -- I swear to god I didn't know it was going to be a hit. JOHNNY OLA bumped into me in Beverly Hills -- and he said that he wanted to talk -- he said that you and -- and -- ROTH were in on a -- a -- big deal together. And that there was something in it for me if I'd help 'em out. He said that -- he said that -- you were bein' tough on the negotiations. But if they could get a little help -- and close the deal fast -- it'd be good for the family. MICHAEL You believed that story. You believed that. FREDO He said there was something in it for me -- on my own.

First time back after a few months of social distancing and what do I find - another "Who Opened the Drapes?" thread. Nice to see that some things never change.
