Vito tells Johnny, "The Italian boy who was so funny in the movies, he had some bad luck and you never saw him again because you were more famous." I always assumed that was a glancing reference to the Dean Martin-Jerry Lewis thing (possibly so that Puzo could say that Johnny isn't based on Sinatra). Do others see it that way, or did Sinatra actually have a friendship with Jerry Colonna or somebody go sour?
"All of these men were good listeners; patient men."
