I was watching "GF" on AMC last night and noticed something that I never caught before in 20+ previous viewings. In the scene where Clemenza & Tessio are questioning Michael's tactics in Vito's old office, Neri is standing directly behind Michael's chair. When Michael is telling Carlo to be "the right hand man" and when Michael explains that Hagen is out, Neri is behind Michael.

I find it odd that Neri is standing there in what appears to be a protective mode. I could understand if Michael was meeting with outsiders such as the scenes with Moe Green or Sen. Geary. But it just seems unnecessary to me that Neri is so close to Michael in what I would deem a "safe" ennvironment. Then again, Tessio later became a traitor...

Anyway, I guess I'm posting only because it was something "new" I discovered after multiple viewings.
