I believe they also foreshadowed death and violence with cars, doors, chairs, hats, and Italians.
I’m still curious about the psychic driver on the bridge heading over to Jersey, who stops dead in the left lane even before Sollozzo’s driver veers in front of him to do a U-turn and head back to New York.
When you’re Family, people don’t NEED to see you make a U-Turn to know they need to stay outta your way!
It is amazing how Coppola and his team were so meticulous in making the film accurate. For example, the mobster’s cars parked at Connie’s wedding were sporting gas rationing stickers (“A” stickers-most likely printed up by the Mob itself).
Also, when Kay and Michael learn of the attempted hit on Don Vito, the movie marquee they pass by lists the film "The Bells of St. Mary’s-a film that was released in late 1945.
Why spend all the money for the snow scenes? must have cost a bundle-and how many movie goers would even notice it?
In Chicago in winter, it’s not the least bit uncommon for it to snow somewhere in the city, and not snow a few blocks away. Is New York different? I’m not seeing the problem here.
New York is not different in that regard. All depends on where the snow line is.

why is there a window on the side wall of Luis’s Restaurant when it’s supposed to be inside a series of row buildings? it’s not. it’s a single-storey structure in front of the row buildings. look to the left closely, it looks like there’s a vacant lot beside it covered by a sign.

the hairpin turn at the bridge heading to new jersey: the timing was very precise. when sollozo’s car lurched to turn, the other car instantly slowed.
