watched the movie a dozen times, never read the book
I didn’t like the book.
First of all, Andy Garcia pulled off a good job considering he was an aborted baby in the book.
Some other tidbits, when Johnny Fontaine says his voice is weak, it’s because there was a tumor or something along those lines causing the issues. It is rectified.
He’s married to a woman who cheats and when he catches her each time he beats her and she just asks no in the face.
Luca Brasi, it is told, forced a maid or nurse maid, I forget which, to throw his newborn part Irish child into a furnace because it wasn’t 100 percent Italian.
He also tied two guys up and while he proceeded to dismember one alive, the other got so terrified he choked to death on his gag.
