  • Yes: Clemenza is the tie to Vito and Bruno Kirby's young Clemenza, so a betrayal would feel weightier.
  • Against: Gazzo brings warmth and a crazy-uncle energy; audiences saw Clemenza kill people, so he would bring a different energy.
  • Duvall's absence is why the third film does not work; they should have paid him.
  • Frankie Five Angels creates his own character with an energy the rest of the film lacks.
