Yes i think you are right,but i think it shows the real robin hood sindrome that clashes with the mobs interests.

I think it was in his Booknotes interview for Underboss that Peter Maas said that The Valachi Papers was one of the worst movies ever.

Anyone seen it?

My opinion is that the only mistake in the movie is Charles Bronson(no disrespect)...everything else is perfect!

You said it!
Just awful.

An unsung winner: "Honor Thy Father," a TV film starring Joseph Bologna, Raf Vallone, Richard Castellano and Brenda Vaccaro. Very good.

out of both films gotti and witness to the mob. i think that hbo should have produced the latter. Gotti seemed to pro gotti and made him out tobe some kind of hero. Witness was alot more darker and gritty but was on some shitty channel that didnt allow swearing and graphic violence, Gravano wasnt made out to be a hero in that.

yes i think you're right but i also think that in "witness to the mob" they made Gravano look a little bit innocent in the story..like he had to do it...it was he's only exit!

I saw "Chicago Overcoat" on cable. Definitely worth a look but I would not have rented it out right. Frank Vincent is the perfect mobster - not too many actors have "mafioso" written all over their face!

True, though the impression the film leaves at the end is that gravano is a remorceless killer. In Gotti they tried to make it out like gotti was disgusted with gravanos violent ways and that he was some sort of robin hood character, when in reality gravano played an integral part in his rise and also his survival through that time with the threat of getting killed and the car bombing.

Your right Scorsese,the producers of the movies always add some fiction in their work of their own view or someone elses,as for gotti and gravano...the thing is they betrayed each other.

Yes "In Burges" is a good one,same with "King of New York" but never saw "Sugar Hill".I thought it was "Sugar Time" the movie about Sam Giancana and Phyllis McGuire.As for "Carlitos Way" i think that it belongs in the spotlight movies right?
