Toodoped no it wasn't all a lie, it was highly over exaggerated though. It was made into a film because at the time, it was the only situation regarding the outfit in Vegas that was known about in great detail. The only in depth info they really had on outfit culture at the time was from the Jahoda & Cooley testimonies, and the Spilotro escapades. Plus the story greatly pertained to showbiz, so you add a little pizzazz to it, fabricate a little bit, and you've got a hell of a plot for a film.

As far as the film is concerned, I was very disappointed, I felt like they covered the dumbest, most irrelevant storylines from that situation (I mean who gives a shit about tony banging someone else's wife?), but once again, I can't complain that much because nothing was known prior to the caps Calabrese testimony. I also felt they totally botched the accents, pesci was the only one who generally tried to pull off the Chicago accent proper, and I just felt they could have done some more research & done it a bit better. But now were getting to major Outfit films, Wahlberg is adapting Cooley's "When Corruption Was King" & they are adapting Calabrese Jr's "Family Secrets" tell all, both of which should be very spot on and exciting.

Anyways my whole point was this is a "scariest mafioso ever" discussion and tony Spilotro doesn't belong in it, he was actually a very nice, well liked guy.

Berwyn, Lombard, Westchester, Darien, Downers Grove, Chicago Heights, Elmwood Park, Melrose Park, Stone Park and a few others are all suburban hotbeds for Outfit activity. Cicero is the name of the top family but no business is actually conducted within the suburb of Cicero anymore, if that makes any sense. They just control the town & tax the Hispanic businesses there, but they don't live there or fraternize there any longer.

As far as in the city is concerned, The Patch (Grand Avenue Crew), which is the neighbourhood along Grand in between Halsted & Western and the 26th Street/Bridgeport neighbourhood (Chinatown Crew) are obviously still mostly Italian neighbourhoods with heavy outfit activity.

Hey Ricobenes, thanks for that info. Admittedly, what I know of Spilotro is rather limited to Pesci's portrayal of him in Casion, and his bio on national geographic. Still, didn't he murder or at leas was suspected of murdering over 20 people?
