GD Spradlin RIP

Don't forget he also skips out of the congressional hearings into the Mafia in the 1950s. He gave a whole song and dance about the good, hard-working Italian people going back to Christopher Columbus before he abruptly left the meeting. (who the heck steps out of a big hearing with all the teevee cameras rolling?)

 

Yeah. He grandstands for the cameras but wants to be out of the room before Michael arrives. But when the chips are down and the Corleone Family needs a vote, Geary will deliver. He has to, because they have the photos of him with the dead hooker.

 

Watched an old episode of Columbo.
GD Spradlin played an estate lawyer. He wasn't the killer, surprisingly.

 

What a scene.

 

Hmmm. Why am I thinking of Canadian Bacon again?

 

Mr. Cor-lee-own-ee

 

With a red-hot poker, son.
With a red-hot poker, I say!

 

He was with Fredo at the sex club in Havana, when Fredo lets it slip than Johnny O had taken him there before, even though Fredo had denied to Michael that he knew Johnny O.

He was with Duvall when they covered up the murder in the brothel in Nevada, giving Michael power over him. .
