OKay you GF fans. Your homework assignment over the holidays is to find as many smiles on the face of Michael Corleone in GF and GF2 ONLY after he becomes Godfather. At the wedding in GF he smiles at Kay and asks her how she likes her lasagna - doesn't count. He wasn't Godfather yet. I will give you nine possibilities. Please verify all of these and look for others. Accardo says there are only 3.

In "The Godfather"
1. When Michael goes to Vegas and asks Johnny Fontaine to sign a contract to sing.
2. In the garden with Vito when they talk about Anthony reading the Funny Papers.
3. After the Baptism on the steps of the church, Mike tells Kay something's come up (look close for this one.)

In "The Godfather Part II"
4. Taking a picture with Geary at the Communion
5. Having a drink with Fredo in Cuba
6. At the "show" in Cuba when Geary wants to meet "one of those Yolandas."
7. Dancing with Kay after the Communion
8. in Anthony's bedroom
9. with Roth when discussing the money on the table and doctors.
