Murder, Inc.

has anyone seen this movie from 1960, starring Stuart Whitman, May Britt, and Peter Falk?

I thought Falk was pretty good as Reles, but the rest of the movie was weak.

hahaha, i know what you mean... i prefered a little more violence and didnt care for the subplot of the romantic crap between that couple.... but thats just me, cause im not really a fan of romance in movies.... i have to eat enough of that crap, in almost all of todays movies... they have to shove it in everyone, it even got shoved into Transformers 2007.... a freakin movie about sentient alien robots, who have the ability to tranform into things, and they have to throw in the romantic crap.... thats why the 80s animated series and 80s movie will destroy that 2007 disaster. anyway enough about the cybertrons, my point is more violence and less romance in mob movies.....

Definitely weak.

BTW,I grew up in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn, and in high school had a part time job working in the candy store that had been Midnight Rose's, the HQ of Murder Inc. Neither I nor the owners were aware of the store's, uh, illustrious history.

I'm from Canarsie (close to Brownsville). I was a teenager when the Demeo crew were cutting up cars and bodies. I went away to college but when I came back, at least 3 people I knew had disappeared ... one was definitely a victim. Tough kid, too.

man you guys got some upclose and personal expereineces.... i also grew up in NYC but not in Brooklyn.... i grew up in the city, where alot of drug activity took place.... alot of the guys that i grew up around, were either killed in drive bys, or were later "found".... Charlieopera, did you ever personally see anythin while growin up? any bodies or dry blood puddles on the street?

Benny, never saw a thing while growing up but heard about a lot while I was away in college (north dakota). A couple of friends were killed; a few from stupid stuff and brother of a friend was definitely a hit (not mob--drugs). Later in life I learned (through books and some guys I used to hang out with when I did some bookmaking) about guys who had been killed during the early 70's (while I was in college as well). Jerry Capecci's Murder Machine tells the Demeo story and one guy I knew personally (tough kid) was killed by someone from that crew.

On the other side of the coin, my mom's first cousin was killed by Tony Spilotro (or his crew) in Vegas. It's noted in Frattiano's book but they used his brother's name, not the cousin who was killed. I never met him, but the brother whose name they used I'd met several times.

damn Charlie, thats some heavy stuff man....sorry about cousin. i own the "Murder Machine" book, and i could only imagine which victim your friend was...that book is detailed and crazy. dont worry man, those guys that took your friend and cousin, got theres in return.... just look at how Spilotro and the Demeo crew ened up.... God is just.
