Nothing wrong with an ascot... it was quite nice.

The same dresser who hd Michael wear the ascot had him wearing that scarf around his neck in Sicily.

Speaking of which: The cover art on the VHS box for GFII (and the movie poster) has Michael dressed in a tuxedo. I don't believe he appeared anywhere in the Trilogy in a tuxedo.

I wonder what happened to the two or three guys who "forced" Mama Corleone to sing at the wedding and actually laid hands on her?

Who were the smokers in GF1?
Cigarettes: Michael, Kay, Barzini, Clemenza, Sonny, Enzo, Luca, Bruno Tattaglia, Cicci
Cigars: Sonny, all the Dons except Barzini and Philipp Tattaglia, perhaps Vito (who has a cigar box) and Tom (we see him smoking a cigar by the end of GF2).
What about Tessio and Carlo?

Another List: Names of characters we never hear in GF1
Al Neri
Mama's name (well, at least we know her family name)
Lucy Mancini
Cicci (perhaps, not so important in GF1)

Other names?

Doing the Haiku thread I learned there are a lot of 2 syllable names in the movie.

Carlo, Sonny, Vito, Michael, Fredo, Genco, Bruno (Tataligila), Luca, Hyman, Johnny, Willie, Frankie, Paulie, and so on

Speaking of names, where in GFIII do we learn that Kay's husband is named Douglas?

Well, I was thinking about names that we know (like Neri) but we never hear.

Connie's oldest son Victor. The son who is baptized is Michael Rizzzi, so Victor had to be there someplace.

Apologies if this has been asked before, But how did the "Kiss" Michael gives to Fredo end up being so popular known as"the kiss of death" when there's no reference to that at all in the movie or the book?

Because that actually existed. In prison Vito Genovese walked up to Valachi grabbed him in a bear hug, and kissed him on both cheeks. and Valachi (being sicilian) knew that was what was called "The Kiss of Death"





He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!"

So what’s the labyrinth?

That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

I still feel ripped off that FFC didn't have Johnny and the mandolin player singing that harsh, gritty, obscene Italian rap song from the novel.

"No, I'll wait".

This line has never made any sense to me. Sollozzo tells Sonny not to lose his temper, so Sonny assures him that "he'll wait". Wait for what? Permission? Why would him saying this give Sollozzo assurances Sonny wouldn't do anything. It just seems out of place.

He was being sarcastic, like, "fuck you, I'll do what I want" kinda thing... That's what I think

Quote from the book:
>> He made his voice sound muted, depressed. “I’ll wait,” he said.

Does that mean Sonny wanted to appear weak? Does that make sense in the given situation?
