The resemblance between New York governor Andrew Cuomo and Sollozzo from "The Godfather" is amazing. The main difference is that Sollozzo was much more polite and reasonable than Cuomo. Once you see the the Cuomo-Sollozzo connection you will never be able to get it out of your mind.

I get hungry every time I see the scene of Sollozzo in the restaurant before Michael goes to the bathroom when he recommends the veal as "the best in the city." From what I understand it was filmed at a real Italian restaurant in the Bronx. Is it still there? If so, I gotta have that veal.

Very good with the knife, but only in matters of business.

Cuomo has been called to a “sit down” in a Queens downstairs apartment.

Does he go or pack up and head to the west coast?

You can talk about the main actors like Pacino, Brando, Caan, Keaton, and certainly Cazale. But the minor supporting ones like Al Lettieri (Sollozzo) or Richard Conte (Barzini) or Lenny Montana (Luca Brasi) and certainly Richard Castellano (Clemenza) also give such memorable performances in the movie and it is interesting to read about them.

The building the restaurant was in is now a a fabrics and yarn store. It closed down not long after the movie was shot there.

One of Al Lettieri’s better efforts.

The resemblance is true, but my God, is the guy who puts out those videos off-putting! He looks and sounds terrible and speaks too slowly, as if he’s addressing mental defectives. I can’t watch his videos.

Cuomo will go to the mattresses before he has to head to the west coast. He knows if he goes west the powers-that-be will make him go fishing in Lake Tahoe.

Compared to Cuomo, the Turk was an honorable character.

Clemenza may have the best line in the movie. Too bad they couldn't sign him for Part II.

Al Lettieri (Sollozzo) was one of the few cast members who could speak fluent Italian. That is why during the restaurant scene you can hear Sollozzo speaking a lot in perfect Italian while Michael (Al Pacino) spoke only a few words before they switched to English.

Not that he resembles a young James Caan by any stretch, I’ve always thought of Andrew Cuomo as Sonny Corleone: loudmouth, violent bully who gets his comeuppance in a spectacular way.

Meanwhile, I also get people who say I speak TOO FAST. We need to get a convention together so they can come to agreement as to why they hate me.
