A Possible Goof Not Mentioned On IMDb?

This is one movie I really love. For some reason, it's a movie that I can just watch over and over and never tire of. However, in one of my recent viewings of the movie, I just had something during a scene sink in on me.

It's during the scene where Bernie is talking to the Mafia people about killing Larry and Richard. Take a look at the seating of the characters at the table:

-Bernie is across from Vito
-The black haired guy on Vito's right
-Vito's girlfriend is on his left, Bernie next to her, and Paulie between the other guy and Bernie.

Of course, if you're familiar with the scene, underneath the table Vito's girlfriend is teasing Bernie quite a bit with her foot and moves into a very sensitive area. Right before she does this, she's looking straight ahead in the way sge does.

She's obviously doing this to Bernie. But, given their seating, this would be physically impossible, especially without making it very obvious what she's doing.

I just don't think there is any way the woman can be sliding her foot up his leg and between his legs given Bernie is sitting directly beside her.

Although, I might have missed something. I don't know. Thoughts anyone?

I'll have to check that out but perhaps she shifted her upper body position so she would be facing more towards Bernie.

At least it was the correct foot instead of the other one coming around.

Or maybe she had a thing for Paulie, haha - even more incentive ...

I never think about the future, it comes soon enough

Actually although she is seated to the right of Bernie, there's a fair distance between them which is evidence by looking at the place settings at the table. She was also about the same distance to Vito. If she turned at the waist toward him which would be blocked by the table her right foot coulc having been dallying as it did in his crotch. I know I could have acomplished it, if I'd wanted, lol.
