That’s right. And Luca Brasi wasn’t threatening the band leader when he put the gun to his head. There’s a lot of reasons he could have been holding the gun like that— maybe he didn’t have his reading glasses and he was trying to read the serial number? Maybe he was comparing the the band leader’s hair sheen to a known reference gun? If the band leader then ‘decided’ to sign the contract to let Johnny Fontaine leave, it certainly wouldn’t be intentionally coercive.
- JackFr 1y agoTo be fair Luca Brazil did explicitly assure the bandleader that either his signature or his brains would be on the contract before he left. So that’s kind of a threat.
- DrewADesign 1y agoHe was clearly inviting him to either add his signature, or a brain dump of possible changes to the agreement. Case closed.
