Did Fredo quite literally look like too much of a clown?
Quite literally Fredo looks like a clown. He's got that daft baldy slaphead, comedic moustache and terrible suits. Honestly, they could had him walking around in giant clown shoes without making him look any more incongruous.
Was it a deliberate styling choice to make him look so stupid? And if so, was it a bad one?
I think his final scene with Michael would have been better had he been a more nuanced character, and added some gravitas / believability to his feelings of being overlooked within the family.
