I have the Lansky biography "Little Man". One fascinating part is about the fact that he knew that an honest casino with good food would make more money than a crooked one because people would keep coming back.
@James-n2t4wАй бұрын
LITTLE MAN, 1991, is a good, solid biography. It takes some criticism because the author, Robert Lacey, has written several biographies about royals, presidents, CEO's. It's a much better biography than MEYER LANSKY: MOGUL OF THE MOB. 1979, by Eisenberg, Landau & Dan - which is mostly fiction (and I believe it was inspired by the fake [but very lucrative] _autobiography_ of Lucky Luciano, titled "THE LAST TEMPTATION OF LUCKY LUCIANO. I own a copy but I'd never recommend anyone to buy a copy. It's been totally debunked as fake since just months after it was first published. WE ONLY KILL EACH OTHER: THE LIFE AND BAD TIMES OF BUGSY SIEGEL, 1967 [?] Dean Jennings is a really fantastic true crime, non-fiction book. It's only about 250 pages, I read every word in about 6 hours, then immediately started reading it from the very beginning, again.

This was fantastic. Really summed up the guy’s life. As a kid in Brooklyn (I’m 67 now), my Italian buddies…and I had a lot of them…would give a wink-wink and kind of brag about how tough the Italian mafia was. As a Jew, I would always bring up Lansky being the SMART one. (As it turns out, many early Jewish gangsters WERE brutal, including Murder Incorporated, who La Cosa Nostra often hired to do hits.) Little did I know about the final chapter in Lansky’s life, the myth being much bigger than the reality, until I watched this just now!

Meyer's step-son (Gussaroff) told me stories of growing up in NY and how Uncle Meyer had his knuckles hammered as a lesson for taking too much off the top of his daily runs. An effective lesson from the appearance of his hands.
@James-n2t4wАй бұрын
Yeah. He had his knuckles smashed to grit and dust with a hammer BUT, decades later, he could still use his hands, rather than them swinging by his sides, at the end of his arms like joints of meat, with the pulverised bits of his hammered bones looking like the arthritic talons of a giant albatross, poking from the slabs of meat that were left of his hands. I recall that Lansky lacked the power to save his wives son from being killed over a relatively minor unpaid debt. The idea that old man Meyer, in Miami around 1981, secretly had a $300M criminal fortune hidden away was obviously a media fiction.

There is a couple of films about them or including them..sadly the biography ones of Lansky aren't that good. A real good one is Bugsy, which focuses more on Ben Siegel, but Lansky and Luciano play a big role in his life story. Also, Mobsters (1991) shows their rise to power. And then there are two Lansky movies, one w Richard Dreyfus and one with Harvey Keitel. Sadly, they both aren't great. Luciano has an Italian film made about him from 73.

My dad grew up with Meyer Lansky, he dated his sister for a few years. She wanted to marry him but he was going in the Navy and didn't think it would work. My dad became friends with all the guys who wound up as Murder Incorporated, which Ben Siegel also a member. Times came and went my dad stayed in touch with all those guys. So one day about 6 months before Siegel died my dad was sent out with a warning to pay attention and stop trying to be a star. The construction costs of the Flamingo were going up, lots of stuff was stolen. He said that some people think you are stealing from them too. Plus he was in the papers too much. He said, yeah that's what Meyer was hinting at last month. He said he had to get on the ball, but he didn't. They went out to dinner that night. My dad stayed a week for free and that was that.

FRom 1960 to 1983 his every movement and every communication was monitored by the FBI. What could he do? I think this doc is meant to dispel some of the myths surrounding all of organized crime.

In 50s and 60s London there was a contingent of heavy Jewish gangsters. The most successful, a man who ran soho for decades was Jack Spot (or Jack Comer, real name Jacob Comatosed allegedly) a second generation Russian Jewish immigrant. His power was waning in the late 50s after his 1930-40s heyday following the battle of Cable Street where Spot and his gang attacked Mosley and a contingent of Blackshirt fascists marching through East London's Jewish quarter. Spot personally took on Mosley's bodyguard armed with an iron bar making him a hero of the Jewish onlookers. As he aged his control was covered by other gangsters like Billy Hill who organised a small gang, led by Frankie Frazer, who set upon Spot when he and his wife left their Mayfair apartment. Spot carried the scars on his face for the rest of his life, but got the message and retired.

I'm a Jew. I hate the romanticization of these criminals, especially the Jewish ones. But of course not JUST them. For instance, I also hate the veneration that Michael Franzese gets. My mother's father was a WWI veteran, well able and willing to use arms. But as a small store owner, he was forced to pay off these parasites, in fear for his family. He couldn't stand against them all by himself. But he couldn't rely on his fellow business owners and the neighborhood residents for support. Generally, they weren't inclined to resist predation with force. That's the disadvantage of a culture that doesn't embrace universal firearm use and ownership. If my grandfather's neighbors had been armed and willing, they could have presented a united front with him against these predators. Louis L'Amour made it a point to explode the TV and movie myth of western settlers being terrorized by outlaw gangs. According to him, the same inclinations that motivated these people to seek new territories, also made them prefer settling their difficulties themselves, rather than relying on government assistance. A significant number of them were Civil War veterans, and no strangers to weapons and their use.

Why would you blur out scenes?
@MichaelQuattrocchi-j8f3 ай бұрын
The screens are blurred for effect and because the actor probably didn’t look like Lansky.
