Speaking of Fredo's stupidity. I think we can agree that all of the family were well aware of Fredo's weakness in character and overall lack of intelligence. With this in mind, it always puzzled me, why they sent him to Las Vegas to learn the casino business.


A possible indicator of Fredo's weakness: Michael tells Moe Green that he took Fredo in because "...the Molinari Family on the Coast guaranteed his safety."


Michael really went out of his way to criticize Fredo's lack of "machismo" in that scene. He really treated Fredo like shit, just like he treated everyone else that was close to him.


I wouldn't go that far in describing the way Mike treated Fredo. Condescending perhaps. He really didn't treat Fredo like someone that was supposed to be in a high place in the casino business.

I love my Chrysler and tuna fish sandwiches.
