I've tried to listen to how they pronounce it in the movie, but it even varies among Corleone family members. I've heard Michael say "Cor-le-own" and Tom say "Core-uh-lee-knee."

I think as long as you don't pronounce it like Senator Geary did, you'll be ok. tongue


Michael: My father's no different than any other powerful man, any man who's responsible for other people. Like a senator or a president.
Kay: You know how naive you sound?
Michael: Why?
Kay: Senators and presidents don't have men killed...
Michael: Oh... who's being naive, Kay?
