lol I never noticed that. I'm going to look for it next time.


I seldom disagree with TB, but I will do so most assuredly this time.

As you watch the scene, the camera follows the cake until Buscetta comes into view. Seconds later you see him touch the brim of his hat and then take it off. He does nothing with his hat except look into its interior. He then looks up ... at what? The blazing Cuban sun!. Looking back down, he moves his hat from around his waste area where he is holding it and then places it on his head. He then briefly touches its brim and applies pressure to the top of the hat near the forward part of the hat. Several seconds later, he looks back up at the sun, then removes his coat. No wonder. He's wearing all black and standing in direct sunlight. There is no brushing of the hat and Buscetta never looks at the top of the hat, only its interior.
