So-so Prohibition-era mobster tale that's ripped from the tabloid headlines of the day.

Rated: C

Tony Curtis gives one of his best performances in this violent, overlooked underworld drama about the famed Jewish gangster. A really good movie that suffered from poor distribution.

Rated: 8/10

Curtis is excellent in this Jewish Godfather. Made by the boys from Canon Films before they gave Norris a film career it's actually well made .

Hey, I had to request to get this on here. How many others will I have to do that to? Anyway, in the wake of the Godfather there were tons of Mafia flicks starring everyone and his brother. This one is interesting because it has Tony Curtis and Milton Berle in it and because it was directed by Menahem Golan, who would later help form Cannon films. This thing is almost a template for most of the product they would eventually produce.
