...father, Frank (James Caan), who runs a family restaurant in Little Italy. That's "family" in the full post-Puzo sense of the word. But Vito (Burt Young), who is the godfather here, sees opportunity in this alliance--a chance to off-load some of his talentless son's paintings and do a little money laundering via Michael's auctions. Before you know it, Michael has acquired his eponymous Mob nickname, is burying stiffs in Brooklyn and, finally, wearing a wire for a comically clueless FBI, whose forces include a hearing-challenged agent...
