Frank Pentangeli: 2 Questions


Hey guys. I have 2 questions about Frank Pentangeli.

1. Why was he drinking from the hose at Anthony's party?

2. What was the significance of spilling the wine at dinner before his sit-down with Michael?

Just my thoughts

1) Despite being a high ranking member of a large crime family and being at this very nice and classy party with tons of wonderful food and drinks, he still low class enough to drink from a hose.

2) To help hammer home the point that he's drunk. Which makes it more possible that when he gets angry at Michael he will say and do things that he shouldn't. Thus upping the suspicion that he tried to have Michael killed.

Agree with both answers.
