At the end of the movie when Lefty says "If Donnie calls tell him if it was anyone I'm glad it was him" Does he mean if anybody was ratting on the family he was glad it was him and not someone higher up or does he mean if anybody is going to get out of it clean he's glad it's him ?
What the Hell is ANSKY?

I believe that he meant that if anyone out of their group was clean that he was glad it was him. Thats the way I interpreted it anyways.

It means that he was glad it was a great loyal friend who ratted him. That and him being whacked Wish he wasn't but oh well, business is bus.

Originally posted by Snake: Yeah, I'm with Daniel on this one. Lefty was obviously terrified of getting backstabbed by a fellow wise guy (remember the tiger scene?), so I believe he was relieved he got done in by a cop. True, he got whacked by his fellow wise guys anyway, but at least by then he knew it was coming and was ready for it. I think he also said it out of a genuine love and respect for Donnie, not out of sarcasm or bitterness. Kinda' sad, though. Yeah don't you hate chracters that die when they eventually turn out cool in the end, lol. You hate them then you love em, jeez the pressure of being an audience, hehehe.

I would not accept the fact that he is or was truthful,no matter what,directly or indirectly, he was responsible for the murders of at least 12 men. Granted they were undesirables but they still died as a result of his job,and although not in the book,he participated in many crimes including murder,hi-jacking,bookmaking.His job was to run a joint in fla.which he did quite well,some 350,000$ a month. He also almost got a fellow agent killed in Milwaukie in a video poker scam with Chicagos' outfit. Sonny vanished for weeks,just before the indictments came down they found him,it was thought that they kept his body on ice so that when the arrests started they would put his body out to be found,to make an example,if the Bonannos'would whack the highest ranking capo they had,they would whack anyone.

I thought the real life Sonny Black commited suicide. I'm not sure where I heard this though.

Originally posted by eddietheplumber: LEFTY was the only one still alive from that crew, their was a hit out on him but the feds pulled him in before it could be executed. The Charicter Paulie, Sonny's right hand man was based on John "Boobie" Cerisani who is I believe still alive and recently got himself into trouble with the law over a bank heist. He brought suit against the filmmakers before it's release to stop the use of his real name in the film for fear of his life.
