   Jack Woltz's is a pedophile. This isn't mentioned.
   Don Corleone survives a previous assassination attempt and Al Capone sends triggermen from Chicago in an unsuccessful attempt to aid a rival gang. None of this is mentioned.
   Vito Corleone's earlier life, including the circumstances of his emigration to America, his early family life, his murder of Don Fanucci, and his rise in importance in the Mafia are all discussed in flashbacks. This was not shown, but is the basis for much of The Godfather II.
   Don Corleone is indifferent to Michael's heroism in the war. Clemenza tells Michael "we was all proud of you being a war hero. Your father too."
   Sonny's affair with Lucy Mancini is based on their own biological endowments. He has an unusually large penis, which most women cannot handle. She has an unusually large vagina, and only Sonny can satisfy her. This is not mentioned.
