Such good acting, writing, and possibly all true.
Wife doesn’t get it other than a guys movie...
I think it hits the familia gene..it’s the inner mans want to protect his family. Plus, the the Subtle terms are both a beautiful eloquence of English, and threats.

The novel generated huge interest in the movie (and vice versa). The vague inferences that Sinatra was involved with the mob had been circulating for many years. What's not to like about a chopped off horse's head, the kiss of death, the murders (particularly Sonny and Luca Brasi) and the overall calculated brutality of the mob?
The soft photography or cinematography or whatever it's called was in complete contrast to the harshness of big time gangster life. It had a huge impact on making the players appear to have some humanity.
Not just you.
