Hello,

I'm a new member proud to be among devoted fans of this great epic. I received the DVD collection last Thursday, but was waiting to watch the first film with a friend. Tonight I couldn't wait any longer and watched it with the FFC commentary through the attempted assassination of Vito. I immediately noticed the scene where Vito asks Fredo to summon Paulie for the car is missing from this DVD version. However this scene is in the VHS version from 1997 (which I own). Was this scene added in '97 in part with the 25th anniversary release? Was this originally only seen in the "saga" or "trilogy" series? IMO the betrayal of Paulie is weak in the original film. One would think that Sonny is just guessing who betrayed his father without reading the book or seeing the "saga". Without that scene with Vito and Fredo it's even weaker. So later when Paulie shows up and Sonny asks him if he's ok, there's no reference.
