Were her "children" that Mamma Corleone mentioned, the two fair headed boys wearing blue suits, that Connie is shown walking with arms around their shoulders in Part II?
The "oldest" Victor not shown, meaning she had three sons?
Sonny is supposed to have been killed in the late 1940s, when Connie was still pregnant with her first. I presume that was Victor. Michael Rizzi was born around 1954 or 1955. I presume she had another one in between; given that 6-7 years is a long time for an Italian woman to wait at that time; or with one of her subsequent husbands. I think they never show the kids because they'd have to cast several different children to show them aging.
shareThat's a good point; your chronology.
They do cast Sophia Coppola as Michele for the baptismal/vendetta collage.
The scene with Connie that I referred to is, in Part II
after the passing of Mama Corleone, she is shown through the window, walking holding hands (not with her arms around them, as I thought) with two boys, and then coming into the viewing room with them, where Fredo is kneeling in front of the casket.
The two boys are between 6-10 years of age, wearing blue suits...Fredo or Sonny's boys maybe?
