Vito's nickname for Michael

Ok Turnbull, I think that I finally got you on one here! I am 99.9% sure that mama Corleone says " Nazorine, sing us a song!" and the old guy comes to the microphone while at the same time mama is standing right next to Nazorine the baker and both are hysterical laughing. Turnbull, how about this: A friendly bet here. I say that the old man who sang at Connies wedding is Nazorine the Baker's father. If I am wrong, I will buy your dinner. If you are wrong, you buy my dinner. A bet?

Hey I want a piece of this, my money is with Turnbull.

While it may true that Mama called Nazorine to come up to the stage, that doesnt mean the old man is Nazorine, nor did it mean she wanted him to sing. She might have wanted him to bring in the cake, so she could stop singing. In the picture you can plainly see Nazorine on the stage.
Proably the old guy had too much wine and just was feeling silly. It happens at every wedding, some old guy has too much to drink and feels the need to sing. If you win, we can go to Louis's in the Bronx for dinner, you will love the veal, best in the city

Heres the transcript. You will notice that the old man is referred to as the old man.


VOICE (urging Mama Corleone to come onto the stage to sing)

Signora Corleone! -- [more]


MAMA (laughingly)

No -- no -- no! [more]

(then, once on stage)

La stessa storia? ["the same story?"] La stessa storia!

(then sings the first verse to "Luna Mezz'a Mare")

(then, Mama calls Nazorine to the stage)


CUT TO: Sonny goes upstairs

CUT TO: An old man continues "Luna Mezz'a Mare" while Nazorine dances and laughs on stage

CUT TO: Lucy Mancini goes upstairs

CUT TO: The old man who was singing is now dancing

Go back and watch that scene very closely. After Mama Corleone sings the first verse of the song she then calls "Nazorine" to come up and sing, the scene changes to Sonny going upstairs, but you still hear the music in the background WITHOUT any break in it, getting ready to go into the next verse of the song. It cuts back to the wedding with the music still playing and you can quickly see what looks like the baker positioning the old man/Nazorine the father on the stage and he starts to sing. If you watch this scene closely you can see that while there is a scene switch there NEVER is a break in the music and from the time Mama calls out "Nazorine" to the time the Old Man starts to sing there is absolutely no way that The Baker Nazorine could have sang some of the song before the old man. My money is that the old man is Nazorine the bakers father and that is who Mama was calling to sing the next verse. Is there any way that we can find this out for sure Don Malta?

OMFG!! I love how you wrote "the bluish tint" That is no frekaing tint, those people are smurfs!! ha ha ha

Ok thanks for clearing that up everyone. i think we should also consider the man in GF1 we think may be altobello is definitly not. GF1 took place in the late 40's early 50's, and GF3 in 1979. Altobello wouldnt have looked that old in GF1 if it was him, because that guy would probably have been dead by 1979.
