In Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather Part II, Frank Pentangeli and Fredo Corleone greet each other after after having not seen each other after a long time, both jubilant and talkative. Pentangeli then introduces Cicci, saying “You remember Willie Cicci who was with the old man Clemenza in Brooklyn?” and then all of a sudden the mood changes, there is a pause, and Fredo is quiet and sombre before saying “We were all upset about that. Heart attack, huh?” and Willie chimes in, saying “No no, that was no heart attack” and an emotional Frankie then says “That’s what I’m here to see your brother Mike about.”
And when he goes to see Mike he discusses his beef with the Rosato brothers, with it seemingly being that Clemenza promised some territories to the Rosato brothers after he died, but Pentangeli refusing to give the territories to them. That’s how Michael puts it, but Pentangeli says that Clemenza promised them nothing, and that he hated them, and the Rosato brothers are giving Pentangeli grief, taking hostages and whatnot, and he’s unable to do anything about it because Michael won’t let him, as the brothers are backed up by the Hymen Roth and Michael is in the middle of some delicate business with Roth.
The point is, there seems to have been issues with the Corleone family, run by Clemenza and Pentangeli, and the Rosato brothers.
But that line from Cicci, “it was no heart attack” you’d think that would open up a whole can of worms, that it would be referenced later, that it would be revealed that Clemenza was murdered by someone we know, but it’s literally never bought up again. So what’s all this about, and how exactly did Clemenza die?

My suspect is Hyman Roth. It fits right in with the ongoings of the 2nd film. It also plays into Fredo's betrayal and Connie figuring things out.
Clemenza died of a bad flu
Tessio was murdered. Probably strangulation or gun.
Read the novel, gonna spoil
Strangled to death
I never personally came to the conclusion that Frado was an idiot. just someone who was born into a world that wasn't meant for him and one he cant really ever leave and therefore he did what he need to to survive. the brothers to me always represented all the different aspects of their Father's personality, both the good and the bad or the light and the dark if you rather. Frado to me represents the caring or loving side of their Father or in other words the part of him self that he sacrificed or risked the death of if you rather when he chose the life path he willingly chose. This was especially pointed out in the shot/sequence right after Vito got shot and was recovering in his bed in his Home and everyone left the room after showing their respects to him and he and Frado where the only ones in the room and all Frado did was sit across from his Father looking guilty and remorseful but also with a hint of questioning in his face as to say something in the nature of 'your such a good hearted man by nature, why did you choose this horrible life'.
If Clemenza was going to testify against Michael in the 2nd movie, I'm glad he wasn't in it. Clemenza was one of my favorite characters and I can't picture him doing that. It's painful to even think about it.
I agree. He was a good character. One of these days I'll try his " going to the mattresses meatballs " recipe.
Same here...Clemenza was my favorite character in GF1
Everything happens for a reason. It would be heart breaking to see Clemenza flip. Frank P I had no emotional investment in ( I originally hated his performance as being way too over top Italian stereotype)
There's several explanations as to why he didn't reprise the role but one is cause Richard castanella refused to betray micheal
The thing is, he wouldn't testify against Michael even if an assassination attempt was made by Roth: he'd have figured it all out.
Let’s also give a huge shout out to Michael Gazzo, who plays Frankie Five Angels. Dude was put into the movie last minute and knocks it out if the park.
" Cicci ....a porta ! "
@Hhgh Fhhfh no he wasn't
"Leave the gun; take the cannoli." That ionic line summed up Peter Clemenza.
What got him in the end
""Leave the gun; take the cannoli."
I have repeated that line at least one thousand times in my head. Just love that scene and the dialog.
That’s what I know him by & that scene was cut from the movie release.
He kills. He eats.
That line was an adlib by the actor, Richard Castellano. He was only supposed to say, "Leave the gun."
If Clemenza was struck by a bolt of lightning, Frankie P and Willie C would've still blamed the Rosato brothers and Roth.
And that I do not forgive
They're small potatoes.
No no...that was no bolt of lightning.
Yet Michael wouldn’t swear on the soul of his grandchildren that it wouldn’t be him to break the peace
@@mementomori8791 o
I have to say that Clemenza was one of my favorite characters, because he was so loyal, and the scene where he talks about having to cook for 20 guys suggests an aspect of his life -- a hobby of cooking -- that makes him more human and relatable. Having him kiss Michael's hand at the end of the movie is a beautiful touch, suggesting the feudal structure of the ( movie ) Mafia, which adds tremendous depth, and suggests the Sicilian old world historical origins. I am so glad the writers didn't have him betray Michael.
I thought he was going to have a heart after climbing all those stairs with the shotgun and hit when elevator door opened.
Me too 🤣🤣🤣💯
🤣 Nice one
haha . true
Yeah, he was struggling, don't know why he & Cici didn't switch up.
Lol me too
"Why didn't you tell that young girl you love her? If I don"-a-see-you-soon-again-I'ma-Gonna-Die!"
"Come ere' kid, learn somethin'......Ya never know, you may have ta cook for 20 guys someday."
One of my favorite scenes ..!!!
hahaha awesome
Michael told Kay what Clemenza said and Kay took out Clemenza. Mystery solved 😂
@@kaind.badguy wouldn't surprise me. She hated Sicilians so much she aborted a Sicilian baby so murder obviously doesn't phase her
@@mg19cal as if abortion is equivalent to murder
I don't know how he died but the one thing I believe is that he was truly the most loyal associate of the Corleone family . A beloved character. So much so that I even named my beautiful dog after him.❤
I named a stray black cat Clemenza.
Fun fact the character that plays Clemenza name is Richard castellano he is the nephew of Big Paul castellano Boss of the Gambino crime family this movie was meant for him
Old news
Is he really related to him? He must have hated Jon Gotti}
Clemenza was the highest paid actor on set, the movie is nothing without him
You mean actor.
Not really a fact, his widow claims that they are related but the widow of Paul Castellano denies it. No evidence that they are really related.
Very interesting and thought-provoking video. It was a shame Clemenza died . He brought a lot of humour and was very loyal, like an uncle, to Michael. He was ruthless to a point of enjoyment.He was bumped off .
Actually his wife didn't agree to the financial terms in PT 2
I believe you meant to say "It was a shame the actor demanded a bigger paycheck than the leads in the 2nd film, which lead to the writers killings him off"
the cannoli was poisoned!🤔
@@Alienhos When you look at both sides of the actual claim of why you might get the impression that it wasn't just money. Coppola said he wanted to much control over the characters dialogue while his widow said that he didn't believe the character would turn traitor as well as some arguments about how much weight he needed to gain. Since both claims can be looked at different wordings of the same argument I think there is some truth to it.
@@Alienhos ....Actually, money wasn't the main issue. He was demanding Coppola hire a real wiseguy to write only his dialogue, and Coppola didn't want that. You can hear Coppola tell the story himself
th-cam.com/video/lWH9QTDNoCM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=M.B.Archives
I like that “a TH-camr that doesn’t get out that much🤣”
🤣😂😄
The actor who played Clemenza had a very difficult and lengthy negotiation with the producers and the studio for his return in GodFather 2. These negotiations took place right up to the start of filming and the initial script had the Clemenza character returning.
But when the negotiations fell through virtually at the last minute the hamfisted explanation of his demise was put in last minute
Castellano didn't appear in Godfather II because he wanted to write his character's dialogue which 'obviously' Coppola wasn't going to let him do. He was brilliant in the Godfather. Pleased it wasn't him who betrayed Michael 😊
Actors and their egos....so stupid not to be in such a classic movie over primadonna reasons.
Just a note to the person doing the subtitles. Mr. Roth's first name is spelled HYMAN, a hymen is something very different.
Lol
what's a hymen
@@pdamn1975 essentially a virginity seal for a vagina
Well... he did got taken out at the middle of the movie. Pretty sure tuat was more than one "Hyman" taken out in the movies 🤣🤣🤣
@@pdamn1975 something that Apollonia had broken by Michael.
“You see, you start out with a little bit of oil. Then you fry some garlic. Then you throw in some tomatoes, tomato paste, you fry it; ya make sure it doesn’t stick. You get it to a boil; you shove in all your sausage and your meatballs; heh…? And a little bit o’ wine. An’ a little bit o’ sugar, and that’s my trick.”
🍝🍞🍷
That scene sticked in my imagination. I always get a bit hungry thinking about it
Licking the sugar off his fingers grosses me out.
Why don't you cut the crap? I got more important things for you to do.
@@jazzyjeff7867 hows Paulie?
I still make my Sunday sauce the same way Pete teaches Michael
It’s an old Sicilian symbol.
It means Peter Clemenza sleeps with the sausage and meatballs.
LMFAO
Loved Clemenza's rug "gift" to Vito's scene 😄😄
he died of a heart attack in the kitchen at The Two Toms Restaurant, 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn. he fell into a pan of boiling garlic and oil.
No heart attack, it was set up by the Rosato brothers. It was a hit.
But did they cut the garlic with a razor blade
Sliced so Thin that it liquified with just a little bit of oil.
@@Yamaha38XCRacer yeah Paul Vario taught him that.
@@albertangeloro5832 Too bad Henry Hill was a habitual liar. Goes to show you the glorification of the life is not without extreme exaggeration in many cases.
It's unfortunate they had to resort to this to explain him not being in the movie, but I too wouldn't have liked seeing Clemenza turning state witness, so perhaps for the best.
He fell into a vat of his own meat sauce which he commercialized and sold in supermarkets throughput the land.
Stir the sauce...take the canoli
You couldn't see the garlic in the sauce, but you could sure taste it, it liquified in the pan
@@moemanncann895 The guys in the crew didnt like it when he put too much onions in the sauce.
My only criticism of Part II is that the characters couldn't believe that Clemenza could've died of a heart attack.
That wasn’t no heart attack
🤣🤣
I would've expected that to happen in the first film at the wedding honestly.
@@CordlessCinema 😂
@@LouieOcean2 It was no boating accident either.
Francis Ford Coppola had a contract dispute with the guy that played Clemenza. It was his wife that wanted more money for her husband on the second movie. Francis Ford Coppola said no to the contract dispute. That's why Robert Duvall wasn't in the third one due to contract dispute. It's not about what you think the movie is about it's about who pays the bills in Hollywood it's nature of the business in Hollywood either you in or you out it's nothing to do about if you like the movie it's about making money welcome to the real world people.
You have a point about the business, but it's interesting to see how Coppola had to deal with these contract disputes in his script and storyline. I knew that Castellano wanted more money, but it's interesting to consider the items in "Godfather II" that are the traces of Clemenza's story. And I think the way the change was dealt with was a little clumsy.
Of course it could have been the Risottos who killed him, or the Fettuccinis, or the Alfredos, or the Tiramisus, or the Bolongneses, or the Raviolis, or the Vinos, but my money is on the Cannolis!
LMMFFAO!!!
I still think that it was the Rigatoni's. Then again, it could have been the Baritone's.🍝🍞🍷
Everyone knows it could only be Dr. Boloni-Salami. See Missing Link Three Stooges episode.
😂😂😂
The Gnocchis were the most ruthless of all.
With Tessio and Clemenza being so close, there's no way Michael didn't think Clemenza wasn't in on the betrayal.
It's breadcrumbs on the trail. You don't need to follow them, you just see that the situation is tense and filled with suspicion.
Damn Richard Castellanno was such a great actor, I can just imagine him in the senate hearing scene, at the same time I can’t imagine how sad it’d be seeing him go through what Frankie five angels did and going against Michael
And he’s the nephew of Paul Castellanno
I believe it was a heart attack, brought on by his size, and the added stress of dealing with the Rosato brothers while being hamstrung by Michael.
I've always had an issue with the NYC at LV thing. It's true LV was started by Bugsy Siegel, a Jewish gangster who rolled with Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky, but sometime in the 50s-60s, it became pretty much a monopoly for the Chicago Outfit, while NYC took Atlantic City. Outfit ran Vegas with an iron fist. There's not even a mention in the Godfather 2 of Chicago or the 5 Midwest Families: Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Cleveland.
Clemenza died from of a Heroin overdose. Remember how Frankie Five Angels held out his arm in Tahoe like he was shooting up when talking about him dying.
He was talking about the Rosattos ruining the old neighborhood..and putting the lesser evils whores and gambling after drugs..
It is a shame Clemenza wasn’t in GF2. You mentioned this in the other video but imagine how much more dramatic would the prison scene have been when Hagen talks to Frankie if it was Clemenza instead?
also a shame Tom Hagen wasn't in GF3 for the same reason - Tom Hagen betraying Michael instead of Coppola inventing Don Altobello (which made no sense because he should have been at the very least mentioned in GF1 or GF2) would have had a lot more impact too... or if he wasn't going to betray Michael he would have been a better chapter than the lawyer that George Hamilton played... Coppola also wanted Brando back for GF2 but wouldn't pay him what he wanted and got cheap using his daughter Sofia Coppola instead of finding a better actress when Winona Ryder dropped out.
@@billymuellerTikTok Totally agree, Robert DuVall is one of my favorite actors ever and Tom Hagen was such a great character.
@@russ2991 - He SAID he was duped. I think he was busy with playing big shot, "kill Michael and I'll be boss" kind of thinking, and even though he SAID he was smart, in fact he was just double dealing.
I could see Tom leaving the family over something; Fredo + something with Kay or his own family
but he'd never betray Michael though
@@TomJones-uf5sl are you talking about the movie? I was talking about the book, where it’s made clear Fredo was duped. Of course, the book and the movie were written by two different people, so in the movie universe, I guess I could maybe see Tom betraying Michael, but…not really because Tom was fiercely loyal to the family, even if he was sore with Mike about being cut out.
In the book he had a heart attack while cooking and fell faced down in the pan. It wasn't a Puzo book though. The series was carried on by Ed Falco. He did a good job carrying on the story
I was looking for this comment. Those sequel books were pretty decent. The Family Corleone is a decent one as well. Not written by Mark Winegartner but Ed Falco. The Puzo estate handpicked both to finish the stories.
Sick of these loose ends and non canonical fan made bs, why can’t there be an actual explanation for his death, was it actually a heart attack? or was he murdered? (Frank pentangali doesn’t thing so)
Well done! Great coverage of the many theories & possibilities! Really good job! Thanx alot!
You put in so much effort into these videos. I appreciate it!
Richard S. Castellano being born in 1933 would have been about 41 years old, in Godfather 2. That would not make him a old man.
Richard Castellano wasn't fired from the movie. He simply wasn't hired for his ridiculous demands. Richard Castellano, who was a relatively unknown actor, or at least certainly not a big name in the acting field, had the audacity to demand that he be allowed to write his own lines for The Godfather Part 2! For God sake, even Marlon Brando would never make such a demand when asked to make a movie!
What I would love to see is a multi-narrative crime film, where they show different perspectives. For example, in Godfather I, I would have loved to see the scene where Barzini approached Tessio, as well as their conversation. Did Tessio go to Barzini, or did Barzini go to Tessio? If Barzini made the first move, why? How did he know Tessio wouldn't play the triple agent and rat Barzini out to Michael and conspire to kill Barzini? How did they conspire to kill Michael in Godfather II? That would be very interesting a scenes to see.
Ótima análise, como sempre. Muito interessante. Obrigado.
In The Godfather book sequels Clemenza had a heart attack while grilling some sausages that's why Willie said "That wasn't no heart attack."
Loved the talking point line lol. Good video
Guess #1 - Heart Disease
Guess #2 - Diabetes
Guess #3 - Choked to death on a cannoli
It's hard for me to believe that the guy in the book with the wire wasn't sent out for a cannoli run with one of the soldiers. I don't think it would have been something that Clemenza laughed himself to death over.
That was no heart attack
Its just brilliant, brilliant writing.Good video
Never cottoned onto this before. Thanks for your analysis of what is probably the greatest movie of the 70's.
Clemenza dies from a heart attack while cooking at his restaurant, therefore he falls at the stoves and burns himself down. That's how he died, it's shown on 'The Godfather Returns' written by Mark Winegardner based on Mario Puzo's sketches.
It isn't canon though. I enjoy aspects of the book but it's still the equivalent of fanfiction and in no way official.
Cine - you put out the Best GF reviews! Thank you
Fat Clemenza's thoughts:
Risotto Bros: yum
Rosato Bros: booo!!!
When they tell you a 400 pound man that lived on Italian sausage and marinara sauce has died of a heart attack, you should definitely be suspicious.
Great content
Pantangalie points to his wrist or elbow artery when talking about clemenza with fredo. Hinting at suicide
He's pointing to the black arm band he was wearing.
@@Messiah717 thanks for confirming that, which crossed my mind. So why did chicci get the yayo mean by "that was no heart attack"?
I thought of heroin
@@mikenuzzo3323 i think it is. Because cicci said "that was no heart attack" which is what alot of people blame for an accidental overdose.
It was most likely just a heart attack. Pentageli and Cicci were looking for any edge against the Rosato Brothers. If Clemenza promised them territory, they were gonna say he hated them and promised them nothing. If Clemenza was a loyal Capo who died of a heart attack; they were gonna say it "wasn't no heart attack" (it was the Rosatos fault).
Clemenza promised the ugats. Clemenza promised them nothing. He hated these sons of bitches more than Frankie and Cici did.
first clemenza, then tom hagan.
damn Coppola and producers couldn't come to an agreement!
Godfather III would have been a hit, if Robert Duvall (Tom Hagan) came back.
The actor who played him wanted a bigger role/more money and Coppola had him written out of the script! Nobody can assassinate a character faster than Hollywood! lol..
The studio sure had their priorities mixed up writing Tom Hagen and Peter Clemenza out of the later films.
Both memorable characters.
I've always thought he died of a contract dispute
How did he die? By refusing to accept a reasonable salary for Godfather 2, and trying to demand way too much money for a supporting character, he got himself written out of the script.
I honestly think that the line was left in for a storyline that never happened. Just nobody thought of cutting the line.
When the movie keeps a few things in suspense, we can always read the novel to know for sure.
"That was no heart attack" I want to know why did Willie flip! How did Connie find out Carlo died?
He flipped because the family had a lot of buffers.
She was always smart enough to understand things happening around, she was the Bosses only daughter, after all. She was there when Fredo was about to be killed, she even called Antony away from the boat. In another life she could have been a real new Boss. Yes, she also easily left one boss /hew brother/ and went to serve the new Boss /her nephew/
No. Coppola is "breaking through the fourth wall" and telling the audience in a sly way that there was no heart attack for the character, that Clemenza was written out because the actor got fired. It's an Easter Egg.
Michael's "Idiot Brother"? There's one in every family.
Got to get the books....lots of reading 📚to do
He had a heart attack when he went to get the paper, get the paper
Is it just me or did anyone else find it extremely badass the way Carlo gets in the car, goes to put on his seat belt and as he turns around,
**”Hello, Carlo”**
I don’t know what it is about that scene that just screams BADASS the way this moron thinks he’s off the hook after the stupidity he did and confessed to on top of of it and he gets in the car all relieved and sure enough when he sees Clemenza it’s like when you see the monster or killer in a horror film.
On a side note they did great character development in all Mr. Clemenza’s scenes. To his wife, family, and neighbors he looked like a calm, quiet normal guy and as the movie goes on you see him for what he truly is which was him being a straight up ruthless killing machine. He has that everyman, favorite uncle vibe to him that lets the audience know that even though Sonny and some members suspected him quite a few times, he was one of the most loyal people to the family a mobster could want on their team. This ending was their way of confirming the truth that he wasn’t a traitor after all. I loved the character so much that I’m glad they replaced him with Pentangelli in the second film because it would be sloppy writing to have him snitch like his replacement did!
Do a video about the long cut of the first 2 movies with all the deleted scenes in it.
"It was no heart attack" really meant "he choked to death on a cannoli."
I do not know how Clmennza died, either, but you took 18 minutes to say what I said in a sentence.
If that's what you heard you have very poor listening skills. Any idiot can have a point of view. But when a point if view is defined by giving examples and facts, it's cream rising to the top.
It was in there to add Pantangeli's breaking apart with Michael. Without adding too much pointing out how he is missing from the film.
I love your intro of Joe "Ping!! Paw!! Pow!! Ping!!" where can i get it?
Considering how well the first movie did, I think it would have been nice if they gave a bit more detail into what happened to Clamenza. I think it would have clarified more to the audience why the family left New York and Michael’s purpose into isolating the truth to who was behind this bad chain of events. It would have explained a bit more as to why Michael was playing this real cool and calculating method because he suspects someone powerful is behind it all. He didn’t want to tip his hand. And Clamenza meant a lot to him.
I STILL use Clemenza's
Spaghetti sauce recipe every time I go to the mattresses
In the movie he died because of his girlfriend... actor who played clemenza had some pretty crazy ass demands to return for the role... everything he wanted was given to him but one..
The one thing they couldn’t give him was having his girlfriend write all the lines in the Godfather part two that was his Final demand... he wanted his girlfriend or wife at the time to actually write the dialogue for his character just think about that.... as far as the book I think he just had a heart attack he was old and Let’s be fair he ate way too many cannolis
that's fckn stupid
Wow. The actor sounded like a total simp. Imagine not returning for such an iconic role because the director, producers and writers wouldn't let your woman write your lines. Extremely stupid. It is unfortunate that Clemenza's real life counterpart was such a tool.
@@PokemonTrainerVince sad but true...
Until that day, he would never think of it.
lol
Utuber 50 yrs later that doesn’t get out? I love it!
The first time I watched Godfather PtII I was so confused by the frank character. I thought he was a random shoehorn character. Knowing all of of this now just reinforced the greatness of the film.
Excellent post 🙏 always my favorite capo
"So that 50 yrs later, a TH-camr who doesn't really get out much, will make a video about it"
Love it! Pure genius!
“Hello Carlo”😖
A lot of wiseguys who's ends aren't found with a .22, .32, .38, .380, 9mm, .40, .45, blade or bat, it's often heart attack, stroke, diabetes and cancer.
Good reading book
He shoulda held a cannoli to Scorseses head and told him either he gets his signature on his contract or the cannoli cream.
I’m watching The Godfather, parts 1,2, and 3 today. I’ve seen the first two Godfather movies many times, and I just recently saw The Godfather, part 3 for the first time. I love all 3 movies, and I believe that it’s one of the best motion pictures ever made. Marlon Brando was a popular actor during the 1950’s and the 1960’s. He played the part of Fletcher Christian in Mutiny On The Bounty. I believe an English actor named Trevor Howard played Captain Bligh in the movie. Marlon Brando was a handsome Hollywood icon who was quite popular with the ladies. I remember my Mother telling me that he even dated Jackie Kennedy before she met Onassis.
The "wild one" did a lot for his "public image" too, as the "dark eyes bad boy" breaking laws and respectable attitudes...
Holding out for more CASH and creative control was an offer Coppola Refused..and a career ending decision for poor Peter
Could you possibly have more ads on this? Thanks! I really can't go a whole 20 seconds without withdrawals for one.
Clamenza & Willie Cicci are my favorite characters
According to Francis Ford Coppola, Castellano (Clemenza) demanded the right to wright all of his own lines. Francis couldn't agree to let him wright his own lines as he has a script they needed to follow. Castellano made impossible demands and he wasn't even the lead I just don't get it...
Yes, he wasn’t the lead, but being he was the most realistic looking mobster, made him the star! He had that everyman, quiet uncle that nobody know’s what he does for a living and always has hundreds of dollars on him at all times vibe to him. 😂
Clemenza died when Coppola clumsily wrote himself out of a casting issue related to the actor wanting control of his dialogue.
- That's it.
Perhaps Mark Winegardner didn't get the memo that Clemenza and Tessio were not supposed to associate outside of being with Vito Corleone. Seems strange.
The end of godfather left many unfilled holes. Tessio and Clemenza had no children or captains in their families to
take over? Tessio is taken out and his existence disappears?
The ending with Kate, though the premise for much of II is not what Michael would have done.
It only took two minutes for Kate to know Michael lied.
It would have been the perfect time for Michael to tell her part of his plans and blame someone else for Carlo's death/actually
disappearance. He would have anticipated his nutty sisters reaction.
"Kate were moving to Las Vegas to get away from the violence here. We were setting Carlo up in a Casino position.
This angered some of our enemies, but we don't know who or what they want with Carlo."
“Nuh that wasn’t a hear attack.”
Cici Willy
His agent asked for too much money, plus script approval (!), so Coppola killed him off and created Pentangeli.
Question: why frank needs Michaels permission if after the move to Nevada , means their families have separated
You should Do a analysis video on joey zaza next and Vincent mancini
Joey Zaza? It's chess. Not this chess thing. Chess. And he's already better at it than you'll ever be at anything in your life.
I just started reading The Godfather Returns.
I swear that I read in one 9f the later books they mention more details about how he died. Something along the lines that he was cooking for a bunch of guys and collapsed on the stove.
I loved clemeza's acting. He was poisoned
He poisoned himself with too much pasta and cannolis.
Family gangster films. Fun for all ages.
Only thing i dont get is how do you promise someone territory "after" you die??
I was always perplexed why Michael said Tessio taking the deal was the "smart move" and that Tessio was always smarter than Clemenza. Betraying Michael Corleone is never the smart move!
He was written out in the script, that's how!!
