Correct Apple, but that is the unresovled issue..... did he know? we have to go by (in this case) what FFC/Puzo put on screen. Unlike the original which had a 'novel' to fall back on for reference, this wasnt a novel and I feel that actors expression will fill the blanks. Im not sayin you're wrong Apple, we need these discussions on this forum, and i thank you for your opinion, I just really beleive that eyes/actions speak louder than words (dialougue). I want to beleive that FFC/Puzo were so clever as to plan a story with so much "who, how, when?....and what if's" that we're at this moment discussing an authors purpose/intent......BRAVO!!!
