Luciano and Bonanno were very different from each other, but in the end, they had a lot in common.


You make a good point about Luciano, I had heard that before he died he was indeed considering making a movie about himself.

Another of their contemporaries who was very outspoken was Mickey Cohen. Although he was Jewish and could never be made, he exercised a great deal of power on the west coast, especially in the movie business. Towards the end of his life, he would give an interview to just about anyone who was willing to listen.
