In late summer 1945, guests are gathered for the wedding reception of Don Vito Corleones daughter Connie and Carlo Rizzi . Vito , the head of the Corleone Mafia family who is known to friends and associates as Godfather and Tom Hagen , the Corleone family lawyer and consigliere , are hearing requests for favors because no Sicilian can refuse a request on his daughters wedding day. Meanwhile, the Dons youngest son Michael , a decorated Marine war hero returning from World War II service, tells his girlfriend Kay Adams anecdotes about his family, attempting to inform her about his fathers criminal life; he reassures her that he is different from his family. Among depicting the marriage of Connie and Carlo, the wedding scene also serves as a critical exposition scene for the remainder of the film, as Michael figuratively introduces the main characters to Kay.
Among the guests at the celebration is the famous singer Johnny Fontane , Corleones godson, who has come from Hollywood to petition Vitos help in landing a movie role that will revitalize his flagging career. Jack Woltz , the head of the studio, denies Fontane the part, but Don Corleone explains to Johnny: 39;m gonna make him an offer he cant refuse. Hagen is dispatched to California to fix the problem, but Woltz angrily tells him that he will never cast Fontane in the role, for which he is perfect and will make him an even bigger star, because Fontane seduced and ruined a starlet that Woltz favored. Woltz is persuaded otherwise, however, when he wakes up early the next morning and feels something wet in his bed. He pulls back the sheets, and finds himself in a pool of blood with the severed head of his prized $600,000 stud horse, Khartoum, in the bed with him, and screams in horror.
