Man in theater: “It’s great to finally see a movie where mobsters have names like ‘Siegel, Cohen, and Lansky’”
Other man: “Oh, are you interested in the history of this time?”
Man in theater: “No, I’m Italian!”
LOL...my wife liked the show. I only liked it when they played loud music and I’d go get a glass of water as those were usually the scenes from Badda Bing.
Regardless- i intend to protest in NYC with others to highlight the utter hypocrisy of woke hollywood.
Your comment reminds me of that era in the development of the mob control of gambling in Cuba and Las Vegas—topics that are covered in some detail in the latest of Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard's "Killing" series—Killing the Mob: The Fight Against Organized Crime in America, which came out in May of this year.
This book is a bit flawed in small, annoying ways, and gets off to a slow start that should have had more clarifying detail for readers younger than 65, but it is still riveting as the interconnections between the Mafia and the U.S. government are methodically laid out. Siegel, Cohen, Lansky and many other criminals are discussed, along with Hoover, the Kennedys, and the FBI. The corruption we are seeing lately has been a long time coming.
