I haven't seen the flick for a long time, but a scene has me wondering...correct me if my memory of it is faulty...at one point in the movie Siegel is in a meeting in New York, and Joe Adonis (who I believe was Virginia Hill's previous lover) makes disparaging remarks about her. In a rage, Siegel beats the crap out of him.
If I've accurately described this scene in the movie, I have to ask: was this based on anything that actually happened? I mean, Doto wasn't just some punk. Unless Siegel was well protected as a potentially big money maker out west, it seem like beating up Adonis would be a good way to get hurt yourself.

makes no mention of fisticuffs twixt Bugsy and Adonis. Wow, you are old! 
 He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" So what’s the labyrinth? That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

Everybody who was anybody in the Chicago Outfit or NY Families had "dated" Virginia Hill at some point. While I don't doubt that Benny would have been crazy enough to assault Adonis, I never heard anything like that happening. It's just a myth.
The only thing I remember reading about that situation was that when all the "boys" came to see Luciano off at his deportation to Italy, Adonis was a little miffed and nervous to see his former flame, Hill with her new man, Siegel.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
