And what role was Johhny Fontane meant to play in the film of Fausto's Bargain? The Fontane stand-in? The Vito Corleone stand-in? And for that matter, why and how did the Corleones decide that they had no problem with so close a member of the unofficial family doing such a film? He did get another Oscar for it, says the book. To me, there's enough story potential that it at least merits a short story. But that's just me. ;\)
