Dirty Business

          Vito Corleone is the moral center of the film. He is old, wise and opposed to dealing in drugs. He understands that society is not alarmed by "liquor, gambling .... even women." But drugs are a dirty business to Don Vito, and one of the movie's best scenes is the mafia summit at which he argues his point. The implication is that in the godfather's world there would be no drugs, only "victimless crimes" and justice would be dispatched evenly and swiftly.
