What I never understood about GF I was that, why no one ever figured out it was Michael who gave the order? I mean, 4 of the 5 families leaders die in a single day & Michael Corleone is the only one left standing & no thinks, "Hey, maybe it was him. He didn't die today." However, isn't Michael not made "Don" until the end of the movie when Kay is getting them a drink & Neri closes the door as she watches?
