Our boys are working as cab drivers in Chicago when Tod saves an arriving passenger at Grand Central Station from being hit by a runaway luggage cart. A friendship starts and we find out the guy has just come out of jail after 32 years! With Tod driving he looks up his old haunts and friends and finds out his mob scene has all disappeared and things have completely changed. He is nowhere and has nothing, really - except for a trunk.
It is kind of sad seeing the old-timer gradually finding out his world is completely gone. Even his old flame has aged!
Good directing, and good acting by the veteran Luther Adler.
The Chicago Grand Central Train Station at 201 West Harrison St opened in 1890, closed in 1969, was demolished in 1971.
The Hotel Metropole was actually at 2300 S. Michigan, and not at the address they mention on the show (2812 N Wabash). Al Capone actually ran his businesses here from rooms 406 - 410, as his headquarters. The building was demolished in 1975, and an apartment building built there.
The Four Deuces Nightclub where the mob hung out was at 2222 S Wabash. Prostitution, gambling and drinking were rampant in this vicinity. This place really existed in Chicago's South Side Levee and was still standing as a housing building during the show's filming but has since been torn down ca. 1967. The location is still an empty lot today.
