Turnbull if those are the comparisons you are goign to use, non sone d'accordo.

In fact I think you make yourself more wrong by citing the comparisons you use. Read Joe Bonnanos book, as well as interveiws with Mario Puzo.

Bonnano was Maranzanos top man, so he too won the war. Bonnano in fact was Maranzanos "man at arms" Joe Bonnano also retired after the failed attempt on his life. He never wanted his son Bill to be a part of. But after being in the hospital Bill took charge. And as Bill was now padre of the family, Joe retired and helped his son as the counsiliere.

Joe Bonnano and Profaci were also very close. Bonnano had all of the politicians and judges in his pocket and introduced these contacts to Joe Profaci. Bonnano also was the only one in the five families to object to drugs. Profaci was on the conservative side of the commision with Bonnano as head. Profaci did things alot after conferring with Bonnano.

Youd have to read the book, there are so many comparisons, at times its like reading the Godfather itself.

Puzo himself also stated that the wedding scene in part 1 was based on the wedding of Bill Bonnano to Rosalee Profaci. Vito as Joe of course hosting the wedding and everyone from families all over the counrty coming. Also Johhny Fontaine was based both on Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. Tony Bennett sang at the wedding of Bonnano to Profaci and came to see his "godfather", as did Johnny Fontaine. Frank Sinatra was a guy from NJ who Willie Moretti liked so Moretti put all Sinatras records in the jukeboxes that the Cosa Nostra owned. Back then it was kinda like forcing radio stations to play someones records these days.

Im real tired now, so I cant think of any more, but get those books, as well as doign soem research on the 5 families and then and you can see.

A domani!!
