Feech Lamanna

Does anybody know what the name "feech" means?

Feech was a nickname. His characters name was Michele LaManna. Mob nicknames usually have an interesting origin,so I wish they would have mentioned how he came by his.

Wished he stayed longer in series , great character

He was a great character. Feech was the old wiseguy who was recently released from prison into a new era. Tony seemed so intimidated by his old ways of doing business and he perceived that Feech's lacked respect for his leadership that he dropped a dime on his Parole officer just to get Feech violated so he would not interfere in what what Tony was trying to build. Great story line. The double cross with the stolen TV's was brilliant.

Robert Loggia was the perfect guy for that role! Great character!

Robert loggia was a great actor. Remember him in the movie Somebody up their likes me starring Paul Newman.

It's just to bad he is getting old.

Remember him in his old TV show Elfego Baca played a western lawyer.

It's amazing how he was old enough to be 'an old mustache, made on the other side', and yet didn't even have the slightest hint of an Italian accent...

If you hang out with people here that only speak English for a year you will lose it.

I had a person I knew that came here from Italy after WW 2 he is always around Italians like him. He never learned English in all his time here.

He was the masseur and record keeper for the Brooklyn Italians soccer club.

He is telling me a story of his war experiences. He was a machine gunner in Ww2.

He was in tobrook. He told me in one battle he killed over 200 of the enemy.

Then I realized he was in the Italian army and fought for Mussolini. That day he killed over 200 English soldiers. I don't know why I thought he was in the American army.

Footread you got me beat. I don't remember those roles but I will look for them and watch them. Thanks. I like Loggia. As you know he was great in Scarface! I did hear that he was in bad health. Hope he recovers.

What about him in officer and a gentlemen he played Gere's daddio.

To bad they did not have him show up at the end when his son became an officer and salute him.

But some daddio's were born to disappoint their sons I guess

Look for a very young Steve McQueen also in this movie

Looks good. I see Rober Duval was in it too. McQueen must have had a small part because is listed as uncredited. Here is the cast:

As for Elfego Baca. They even had a TV series in the 50's. Here is the cast for the movie:

I love these type of Movies. Thanks again Footreads!

I don't know... I have a whole family of immigrants and some are around Americans exclusively. It's been my experience that if you reach a certain age, you never lose the accent, even if it's just slight. And if he was old enough to be made in italy, he certainly would have passed that age. But anyway it's a small detail. Awesome character. I would have loved to see more of him. I did hear that he left the show so abruptly cause he could never remember his lines. I think vito confirmed that in an interview

Feech you cockaroach.

A pig that don't fly straight no more Paulie.

Feech was a great character.
