The Godfather

I am, for the first time, being introduced to the wide, wide world of ....The Godfather. So far, i am up to No.2. It is ok, not entirely what i expected (it's amazingly loooooonnnnngg) BUT what i have noticed and what I MUST share with you, is the possible appearance of Manwel (bad spelling i'm sure) from Fawlty Towers. Surely it is him who plays the landlord?? And it can't be a coincidence that when he appears it is largely in a commical manner?

I know I could check the case to confirm or deny this speculation, but i cant really be arsed. I kind of like the idea that it is him ( because...there is too much butter on those trays!)
