Wasn't the movie Hoodlum about Bumpy Johnson? I assume that was earlier in his life, considering his arch rival was Dutch Schultz who was long gone the 1960s. Anyhow at least in the movie Hoodlum Bumpy had a good relationship with Luciano so it would make sense that he had connections to that same family later in life.


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
