Insurance Companies’ Legitimate Fraud and a Not-So-Famous Scene from ‘The Godfather III’

Toward the end of the movie The Godfather III, the smallest box-office draw flick of the three epics, Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) the by-now elderly ‘Don’, is walking through the rose garden behind his East Sandwhich estate.   Tom Hagan (Robert Duvall), also a senior citizen, has some news to share with his boss and assuage his concerns:Background-spinMichael:  So, you’re telling me that we’re still going to be profitable, huh?Hagan:  Yes, Michael.   By the end of the year, we will control all the insurance companies of America, and The Family will be completely legitimate.Michael:  (pausing, walking) Insurance companies, huh?Hagan:  (pausing, stopping) That’s right.Michael:  Well, it sounds to me that we’re going to be RICH all over again!MORAL:  keep your insurance card in your wallet in your FRONT pocket.  Perhaps, just PERHAPS, organized crime HAS played just a smidgen of a role in defining how things are done these days!!  Your divorce lawyer’s office’s landlord, if his office is in the downtown area of your county’s seat, then………is an INSURANCE COMPANY!!!     I say give whatever screenwriter gave Duvall his lines a belated Oscar to place on his mantle!
