He killed the woman he wanted, and made everyone aware, including Don Tommasino that Barzini was the cause of the general unrest that was plaguing those Mafia bosses who supported the Don. If Michael really wanted to protect Apollonia, he needed to do the following: Get new bodyguards. The group is caught by the police and they are all arrested. When Tony goes to bail Effy out of jail, he is told that someone pretending to be her brother already bailed her out.
Tony sees Effy getting into a van and chases after her, but is attacked by guys with masks. The accident actually made her more vulnerable, scared and weak. It was really traumatizing for her. He's mainly there to kickstart the story and introduce the characters to the audience. He asks Don Corleone for help with a movie role, which eventually leads to the iconic scene where Woltz wakes up with a severed horse head.
However, Johnny plays a much larger role in the novel and is given a far deeper and more complex characterization. We learned about past marriages, the sore throat that debilitated his singing voice, his time in Hollywood, and his past estrangement from the Godfather. Another major character cut from the movie is Lucy Mancini, Sonny Corleone's mistress. While she is only mentioned briefly in the movie, she has quite a substantial role in the novel.
Lucy had long been a friend of Connie and even served as her maid of honor. However, she slept with Sonny on the night of the wedding, an event which kickstarted a years-long affair.
She attempted suicide after Sonny's murder and was sent to Las Vegas by Tom Hagen, a harsh detail that was omitted from the films. But it is a monumental shift in characterization and character development that deserves to be mentioned. At the end of the movie, Michael has Connie's abusive husband whacked, and Connie denounces Michael and tells Kay that Michael is responsible for the slate of killings. In the novel, she still denounces Michael but is quick to apologize to him.
She even vouches for him to Kay, telling her Michael is completely blameless. And here we see Mario Puzo mixing fiction with reality. At Maranzano's request, Capone sends two hitmen from Chicago in an attempt to assassinate Vito Corleone.
However, the assassins are in turn killed by Luca Brasi, and Vito Corleone sends a condemning letter to Capone telling him to never interfere in their business again. This was never seen in the original movie.
Too bad, too! It could have made for an awesome sequence. He is wonderfully portrayed by Robert De Niro, and that segment of the story contrasts wonderfully with the downfall of Michael and the Corleone family in the present. We think it was the right creative decision, as it works wonder for the drama and themes of the story.
This scene has never been released, although publicity photos were distributed of Michael firing a Lupara Double-barrel shotgun. Fabrizio was portrayed by Angelo Infanti.
