And how about another question for all of you who read the novel just like me.
How come Virgil Solozzo never came to the wedding of the daughter of The Godfather where he won't be refused by his business offer?
Solozzo was Sicilian, right?
And
How come Virgil Sollozo never went to the Genco Olive Oil Office and proclaim his undying friendship? Am quite sure the Old Man would reconsider the drug business and find ways to meet Solozzo's proposal in half way.

Thanks for the welcome note Turnbull! I really appreciated it!
--
Hmm... you're right about the unmentioned Anthony Coppola on the wake and funeral. And was it always true when the author meant of the word.. "FAMILY" does that necessarily meant "mafia" ? Clemenza has wife and kids so automatically they were called a family. And I don't know if Tessio have a wife. hmm.. I guess it was really a book that focuses on the Corleones.
And yes, I noticed those sloppy writings right after my SECOND time I read the novel. At first I was awed and magnified by the book because I saw the three films first BEFORE I read the novel.
It seems true that Mario Puzo, rest in peace, really was unsatisfied by how he have wrote the novel. Yet it was a commercial success. Hmmm... I wonder if there was something FISHY going on in The New York Times before. You know, bribing the editors, putting gun in the heads of critics just to say that the book was a good read, to boost up the morale of the book. I don't know... It was 1969 where everybody gambles and dirty business was quite rampant. And yet... and yet... I, still was surely entertained and fascinated by the book's staggering story telling. When they write family, they mean Mafia family. Even with all its sloppiness and mistakes, it was and is one hell of a novel that I reread several times a year. E vero!

I'm late to the party in this forum because...well because I just never visited here in the however-many-years I've been a member! I guess that's the beauty of this web site. I just opened another door and found another great party with some familiar faces and a few new ones as well. Turnbull asserts One of the reasons that the "cannoli" line is in the film may be because the woman who played Clemenza's wife was Richard Castellano's real-life girlfriend. No doubt he pressured FFC and Puzo into giving her a line of dialog ("Don't forget the cannoli"), hence Clemenza telling Rocco to take the cannoli. Presumably, Castellano was using his clout as an established actor to wedge his girlfriend into a speaking part probably because that would bring a higher paycheck and possibly residuals which wouldn't be available for a non-speaking role. Moreover, the privilige of re-writing the dialog might also mean a screenwriting credit with more financial rewards as well. That's a smart move with financial dividends that go beyond the demand for a limousine to shuttle you around town. "You see, our people are businessmen..."tony b.

You don't see Clemenza's wife saying it. Her cannoli line is not stated on-screen? But you actually see her ask Clemenza when he will be home?
