I have another question that maybe someone (Turnbull?) might know the answer to. Was the mob guy named "Tommy" in the movie modeled after someone real?
I'm
guessing that Tommy Como might have been modeled on Frankie (Mr. Gray) Carbo, who ran the fight rackets for the Mob during that period of time. But I can't be sure. There are only two biographies of LaMotta (one an autobiography), and both are out of print.
