Next up, Michael murders Sollozzo and a corrupt cop, Captain McCluskey, at an Italian restaurant. So Sonny becomes the acting Don, while Michael defends the Godfather from a second assassination attempt. (Like ya do.) And since we're in a mob movie, this leads to a near-fatal assassination attempt on Don Corleone and the murder of his trusted hit man, Luca Brasi. A gangster named Sollozzo tries to rope Don and his political connections into a dope-dealing scheme with the rival Tattaglia family. Don just has the severed head of the producer's prized racing horse placed in his bed. Don helps his lounge-singer godson, Johnny Fontane, intimidate a movie producer into giving him a part. Outside, the wedding is in full swing, and we meet a bunch of different characters, including the Don's sons, Michael and Sonny. And like any good mob boss, he's spending his time receiving guests who are requesting favors from him. It's the day of Don Vito Corelone's daughter's wedding.
