Evening Miss Lauren
Fair plot that bounced about more than necessary and strayed greatly from actual history, excellent dramatic acting from Damon & Jolie, very good production of the 1939-63 era setting, better direction than I expected from De Niro...
However, the sutble liberal slant was always lurking about as is in this exchange:
Joseph Palmi (Joe Pesci as another mobster): Let me ask you something... we Italians, we got our families, and we got the chuch; the Irish they have the homeland, jews their tradition; even the ni**ers, they got their music. What about you people, Mr. Wilson, what do you have?
Edward Wilson (Matt Damon): The United States of America, and the rest of you are just visiting.
All in all I am waiting until Clooney’s The Good German (2006)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452624/ DVD comes out so I can combine them and call it The Good German Shepherd...
