In the end, he was too ambitious for his own good. He needed to mind his own business and enjoy his veal.
I thought McCluskey had the veal.In the end, he was too ambitious for his own good. He needed to mind his own business and enjoy his veal.
I'm assuming they both did, since Sollozzo recommended it.I thought McCluskey had the veal.

He was Sicilian. They called him the Turk because he grew the poppy in Turkey.Kafka said:God, I love this scene...the tension is so very palatable, especially in the eye "contact" between Michael & Sollozzo.
Never a trust a Turk who can speak Sicilian dialect, or an Irishman who eats veal.
Yep that character is in the bookIs Tom Hayden in the book or was that just to get duvall in the movie
He seems so implausible. What's the deal. Did Vito see him as a conduit to legitimacy or was he really father FlanaganYep that character is in the book

Sonny Corleone befriends 11-year-old Tom, who was living on the street after running away from an orphanage. When Sonny brings Tom home and demands he be taken in, the Corleone family allowed him to stay. Hagen considers Vito his true father, though Vito never formally adopts Tom, believing it disrespectful to Hagen's deceased parents. After law school, Hagen wanted to work in the Corleone business. His non-Italian ancestry precludes his formal membership into the mafia family but when consigliere Genco Abbandando dies, Hagen is given his position. This results in the other New York families derisively calling the Corleones, "The Irish Gang."He seems so implausible. What's the deal.

technically, no
the Corleone family would've never done biz with a commie mutha ###### like Jane Fonda's ex-husband ...

like Presidents and Senators don't have people killed? who's the naive one now? ??"He's supposed to be very good with a knife, but only in matters of business or some sort of reasonable complaint." I love that this is meant to depict him as a reasoned individual - he deftly carves people up, but only if there's a passable excuse.
Of course it was. Tattaglia was a pimp.It was Barzini all along.
I love that, while Michael and the Turk are both dead serious, for obvious reasons, the Captain just wanted to relax and enjoy his food.
