Think, if Brando hadn't been so greedy this would have been the end of II. I like the one in the film better because no matter what Micheal always seems to end up alone in a sense. This other ending would have fit in well with the early scenes of pt III when Anthony defies Micheal in the study.---This secene was never shot because Brando wanted too much $$$ to do it. There were some artistic diffrences of opinion too.
