People watch T.V and movies to have their emotions moved... Some life stories don't translate well in order to do that.. The movie formula Sensationalizes and emphasizes Gun fights and romance scenes and builds characters that everyone can relate too. It never works..

You can so easily forget what a hard man Sammy is because he is so charming . Some of the tales he tells would have had me running for the door if I’d been there . I hope one day a big blockbuster movie is made of his life , his story should be on the big screen.

the guy who was official boss before Chin was Philip "Benny Squint" Lombardo. he took over the family after Vito Genovese went to jail as acting boss and then became the official boss when Vito passed away, and he first made Ryan Eboli street boss, then Funzi Tieri. and when Funzi died, he stepped down and gave the reigns to Chin, who in turn made Fat Tony street boss

@nelstar4676

2 жыл бұрын

@SILVERBACK SAVAGE well, Fat Tony was sort of an acting boss, because he never really was the official boss. street boss and acting boss are very similar titles but just used for different reasons. so Chin was the official boss whereas Fat Tony was the street boss. (acting is usually when the official boss is in prison and someone needs to fill the position sometimes temporarily). but you could technically call Fat Tony an acting boss aswell.

I'd absolutely love a new mob series with all this epic content coming out and these made guys accessible to be part of production. HBO could really take advantage of it. From the start of the first sicilians, all the way to modern day. It'd be an absolutely surreal TV experience, especially with modern cinematography.

haven't even listened to this one but already know it's fascinating and full of historical underworld that we would never know about if it was a different era than the one we are privileged to share with a legend of the American mafia! Salvatore Gravano thanks for your stories sir!
