At Don Vincent's, Joe M's character is the little man and Ameche is the big man. Even Don Vincent's men regard Montenga with little to know respect. However, the maid give him a flirty look in the kitchen when Joe isn't even looking.
shareMantenga and the maid were attracted to each other. And she was a pretty lady.
shareHe was an outsider as she seems to be.
He was not at all interested in the lame banter of the other men i the kitchen - that has to look good to any woman.
She probably mistook his worried watching of Gino through the window as soulful reflection.
In any case, he stood out as a figure of calm in an otherwise mildly manic scenario.
Or something like that.
