Background
Today is the 93rd birthday of Robert Duvall, the prolific actor born January 5, 1931 whose extensive filmography includes the first two films of The Godfather saga as Tom Hagen, the orphan informally adopted by the Corleone family—and whose cool head and legal savvy resulted in his position as the family's trusted consigliere.
As this is the 50th anniversary year of The Godfather Part II, today's post will explore Tom's character and costume in this masterful second installment, set across the late 1950s as Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) continues consolidating his power and seeks to legitimatize the family's interest as Tom had long advised him to do.
Although he's been transitioned from consigliere to being the family's lawyer in Las Vegas, Tom still serving as Michael's right-hand man, with duties beyond legal counsel including everything from buying Christmas presents for the don's children to blackmailing a senator whom they've framed for the murder for a prostitute.
