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.

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.

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!

It’s fascinating to follow the lives of people who truly forged a path in the still Wild West. And I mean the western world. In many ways it was still the Wild West because laws weren’t established yet to prevent them, and so many could be paid off.

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.

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.

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.

Read a biography on ML. Written by that British dude, I think. His finances were very murky. His whole life was cash money, no records. In my judgement he was a man who could GET money, but he didn't HAVE a lot of money. And of course he sunk every dollar into the Riviera in Havana- and lost it. 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. They don't have power because they are rich. They have power because people fear them. Who wants to get killed over a 10 thousand dollar building contract?

Once everything crashed in Havana. The government was upset and the elites wanted the money they lost! Lansky was unfortunately used by the Government until he had nothing left to give. He did good if you ask me. Lived like a king for some time, avoided doing any hard time in prison and was able to keep his mouth shut 🤫. As a mobster Lansky was a solid representation of that.

Agreed. Castro seized Meyer's fortune and he never recovered from that.. He was very wise and very disciplined too. He never did hard time, like you mentioned, and he was never whacked. Usually, those are the only 2 options for a mobster. According to certain sources, he only had $35,000 dollars to his name when he died. I guess he also owned a small percentage of some casinos in Las Vegas but who knows.

interesting documentary, but I have to point out, against what's said at 6:00, that the Eighteenth Amendment bans "the manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation from the United States" of alcoholic beverages, NOT the consumption of alcohol.

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.

Was Bugsy shot with an M1 carbine? I thought that’s what it looked like in the images here. Don’t know if anyone knows for sure.

Certainly looked like an M1 carbine, at a range of a few yards the .30 would do the job. Probably not a detail that would be noted.

@phann860, gotcha. I just picked up a WW2 surplus M1, a Winchester no less, in fantastic condition for a military surplus. I think it’s been sitting in an armory in Africa for decades. Anyway, stoked to own it.

Meyer Lansky, je me suis jamais documenté sur son parcours ou sa personne, c'est vrai ça, il étai assez réputé pour être le pourvoyeur de sa famille, le gestionnaire de fonds notamment. C'est dumoins, ce que j'ai cru comprendre de son histoire. Sinon merci pour ce bon vieu documentaire. J'avais Canal sat avant il y a bien longtemps et des reportages de ce type passait à cette même époque où est sortie ce doc, du coup ça ne nous rajeunit pas 😊.
