Yet, it really comes across as the signal for Peter.
This was a very nice analysis. It looks to me, though, that the geography is a problem. I think that Carlo and then Michael-Tom are approaching almost from behind the car. I think Tom would have to signal the guy who put Carlo in the car, who would then relay the signal to Clemenza. That would be pretty clumsy.
Yeah, probably! 😄
It still makes for an interesting sequence. Crow-loosened tie-garrot. I love it.
I love the idea that Tom might have indulged in vengence just this once. But it might not be to that degree.
