why didnt hyman roth feature in part one. if he and moe green were such good mates.

GF was based on the novel. Moe Green appeared in the novel, but Roth didn't. The novel ended in 1955, and so did the film. At the time GF was made, no sequel was envisioned (Paramount was fearful it'd be a flop). But after its smashing success, they decided to make II, and to flesh out the story, Roth (based on real-life Meyer Lansky) was added, as was much else.

well, also roth wouldn't have had any reason to be in the first one. it works out best that he wasn't there.

Perhaps, for continuities sake, if Don Altobello is such an "old family friend" of the Corleones, why does he randomly appear in GF III?

Although in retrospect, they really didn't have anyone else, most people in the movies got whacked...

don altobello is not random.he's connies godfather and she gives him the tasty cannoli for his trouble

Sorry for this being a pathetic, childish, off-topic post, but I think I need to ask:

Why did the writers choose the word "Hyman" as the first name of anyone? Did he have cruel parents?

Is it a Cuban name as well?

its a polish name moron. if u cared to watch the outtakes in the box set. twat

Don't disrespect someone who has posted more posts with the intelligent worth more then your next 7 years of school.

I think Hyman is more of a Jewish name. Remember Roth ws born around the turn of the century when people had different ideas of what was a normal and approriate name. There are lots of Italian names in the films that are no longer popular. Such as Luca, Fredo, Rocco, Genco, Amerigo, and even Vito and Santino.

wil.

Well remember that Frankie "5 angels" was also added to the story as was several other characters. If you have the VHS version of the Godfather Trilogy, you may have the “A Look Back” behind the scenes commentary about the film The Godfather II and FFC tells us that most of the scenes of young Vito Corleone were from the book, but the story of Michael during the 50s was something he invented. So with that in mind there were several characters erected from this, including Frank Frankie Pentangeli, Hymon Roth, Johnny Ola, the Rosato and several other characters with smaller roles in the film.
