I think Mama also “never called Santino Sonny, always Santino” Vito and Michael would have planned the Baptism murders together though the individual assassins would have come up with their own murder plans Barzini could have got away! Barzini ran up, almost to the top of the steps and could have managed to run inside the building if Neri's first shot with his pistol, had missed Barzini Clemenza seemed spent! climbing up five flights of stairs It seems Clemenza fired only twice into the elevator with his rifle so perhaps the elevator operator was spared if he did not die of fright Why the overkill for the elderly Tattaglia and his working girl, in bed Two assassins with machine guns perhaps a throw back to Sonny's killing What if Cuneo was not the last person exiting It seems Cicci fired four times compared to Neri killing Barzini's bodyguard and the driver, with single shots Where was Greene's bodyguard? There was enough time as the killer politely! waited until Greene puts on his spectacles

Though it never says it explicitly in the movie: Vito wanted Michael home so he could turn over the reins of the family to him, I believe it was MIchael's initiative, not Vito's, to settle all family business before the move to Nevada. In a deleted part of the garden conference between Michael and Vito, MIchael says, "What about Sonny? What about Sicily?" Vito admits "It was a sign of weakness" that he didn't attempt vengeance. I infer that it meant he was leaving that to Michael. In the novel, Michael warns Vito that if he attempts to dissuade him from going ahead with the Great Massacre, Michael would go his own way.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

Sure thing Turnbull Vito was leaving - settling all Family business - to Michael after Vito died Thanks! Pop Vito, always the Nice guy! won't make his daughter a widow So leaves his dirty work for Michael, to make his sister a widow Connie: Michael! You lousy bastard -- you killed my husband! You waited until Papa died so nobody could stop you and then you killed him Vito never thought about all the turmoil – killing Carlo, Fredo stepped over – would cause Michael -- Vito never gave a damn....
