The Godfather
In 1945, the New York City Corleone family don, Vito Corleones, listens to requests during his daughter Connies wedding to Carlo. Vito declines to invest in his narcotics business and for police protection. The Five Families erupt in open warfare. Michael takes refuge in Sicily and Fredo, Vitos second son, is sheltered by Moe Greene in Las Vegas. Michael meets Sollozzo and McCluskey at a Bronx restaurant; after retrieving a handgun planted in the bathroom by Clemenza, he shoots both men dead.Michael assumes the position of head of the Corleone family after his father Vito dies of a heart attack in 1955. He is dismayed to see that Fredo is more loyal to Greene than to his own family. With Vitos support, Michael relegates Hagen to managing operations in Las Vegas as he is not a wartime consigliere. Michael extracts Carlos confession to playing a part in Sonnys murder. He assures Carlo that he is being exiled, not murdered, before Clemenza strangles Carlo.
