  It wasn&apos;t Roth. He was just a retired investor living on a pension.

  You forgot about the scene where they are all in Cuba at the night club where initially Fredo pretended like he had never met Roth, but then later he talks about how &quot;Old man Roth&quot; would never come to the club they were at. Its actually in that scene where all of Michaels suspicions are instantly confirmed.

  It still amazes me that Johnny Ola is Jr from the sopranos

  Frank was old school, and owed a lot to mikes dad. Frank was able to talk openly with mike because he goes back years with the family.

  Roth’s mistake was having an errand boy who wasn’t a varsity athlete.

  &quot;This is the business we&apos;ve chosen! I didn&apos;t ask, who gave the order, because it had nothing to do with business!&quot; Showed too much. He really showed his fury and that it wasnt business, it was personal. And he hated Michael.

  It seems the last trace of Michael’s humanity died when he found out that &nbsp;Fredo worked with Roth to most likely have Michael killed. “You broke my heart Fredo. You broke my heart.” The utter devastation on Michael’s face when he found out that fredo betrayed him was to me the knife in the heart of the last remnant of Michael’s spirit and humanity.

  I always loved the part when young Vito holds baby Michael right after he kills Don Fanucci and says to him in Italian &quot;your father loves you very much , Michael. &nbsp;Very much.&quot;<br>And the flashback at the end with everyone before part 1, waiting for &nbsp;Vito on his birthday and it just ends with michael sitting there alone

  I never even suspected Frank Pentangeli and wasn&apos;t under the impression that Michael suspected him. I was aware that Michael suspected Hyman Roth, although I was quite puzzled that Michael knew this so early on.

  I don’t believe Fredo was ever the underboss, that’s what the feds show on their big poster board but I think that’s to demonstrate they aren’t able to figure out the actual power structure
