This Deleted Godfather Part II Scene Quietly Fixed Michael Corleone’s Biggest Unfinished Storyline
If you haven’t seen the deleted scenes yet, they’re worth watching. We also highly recommend reading the original novel, as both provide extra background and understanding of the story. You’ll find answers to many questions, including why Vito took so long to gain control of Little Italy in Part II. One particularly compelling deleted scene explains Apollonia’s death and why Michael didn’t immediately seek revenge. This scene offers a different explanation than the book, and many viewers find it a more satisfying and appropriate way for Michael to resolve that part of his story.
