The kind of cat that vito is holding in the Godfather part 1 is a Havana brown cat(which ironically isn't always brown like in the movie.) These cats weren't developed until the 1950s. The opening scene takes place before the cat was even in existance
I got this from the website The Havana Brown cat was developed in the 1950s by crossing a British Seal Point Siamese with another black shorthaired cat of Siamese descent. These cats were formerly known as Chestnut Brown Foreigns. Once American breeders started developing and raising these cats the British and United States varieties began to take on different but similar characteristics.

That's okay, there's also that one scene where the camera accidently catches the two hippie-looking guys in a mirror reflection.

Not to mention the bullet wound on McCluskey's forehead being visible in the longshot just before the closeups of Michael actually shooting him there! Or, the bullet squibs exploding on Barzini's back followed by the tumble down the steps by a stuntman whose jacket is miraculously un-hole-y!

Originally posted by Sophia: What's the scene with the 2 hippie-guys in the mirror? I think it's during the Vegas scene when Michael enters Moe Greene's hotel. You catch a glimpse of two guys with shaggy beards and shades walking if you look in the mirrored glass windows. I only caught it because on the DVD, FFC mentions it in his commentary.

Yes i agree with that punch that SOnny tottaly missed Carlo wit. It was like a foot away from his face, and i still heard the person that played Carlo suffered bruised or broken ribs.

Are you all overlooking one thing?
ITS ONLY A MOVIE. Yes, and it's fun to discuss the movie. That's why a lot of us are here. WHY are YOU here?

The bottle is visible on the table at the Don's meeting. I am assuming that the meeting happened ca. 1947-48 for various reasons that I've posted in other threads. If you accept that timeline, it'd be too early for Bolla. The first Bolla wines were imported to America in tiny quantities (~200 cases) in 1947. The label shown on the bottle on the table was introduced in the '60's. BTW: Bolla became the most popular import wine in the US in 1969. Now it's Australia's Yellow Tail. TB, don't forget that these are Mafia guys. ...and they probably brought their own homemade wine. And don't forget the pastries: "Hey Tatt, didja bring the sfogliatele? And Vito, did Clemenza bring the cannolis?"

I think the cat makes the Don seem too much like a Bond villain - Odd-feld or Blo-   or whatever.... If you listen to the commentary track on one of the editions FFC is very proud of the cat - and the fact that Brando could tickle it whilst doing his Don routine. Sort of thespian multi-tasking. Could Brando be the don and chew gum at the same time? We will never know... Azbo

And let's not overlook that, at the Dons' meeting, there's a bottle of Bolla Valpolicella on the table--which wasn't imported into the US until the Sixties. One of the nice things about reading posts that are 4 years old, you see things you might have missed in the past, but I digress. Having been a big consumer of Bolla Valpolicella in the 70's, when I graduated from Sangria and Mateuse, I immediately recognized the bottle of Bolla Valpolicella at the table, and just assumed it was accurate, as FFC is a wine expert, and produces some really great wines. Upon doing further research using Bolla's website, it seems as though the bottle might be only half incorrect, as Bolla made their first shipment to the US in 1947, with 200 cases of Bardolino. It might not be out of the realm of possibility that by the time of the meeting, they might have sent over Valpolicellas. I think it might be incorrect due to the label itself. It doesn't appear to be the type of label used on in the 50's.

Let's not forget the punch Sonny threw in Hoboken while Carlo was standing in NYC.
That thing missed by miles. Haha that bit always makes me laugh. The rest of the beating is convincing enough.
