The Brothers Rico (1957) with Richard Conte.

He plays a reformed mobster who is trying to reform his mob-brothers, but his former bosses are dragging him back into the mob life. His character is low-key (kind of like Barzini), almost sheepish. It's black and white which is fitting for a film noir. James Darren played one of the brothers. He's not the greatest actor, but did okay. Larry Gates was cast as the mob boss and was too white bread for that role since there's a strong Mafia overlay to the whole thing. There's a Catholicism overlay too.
