DATE REVIEWED: 05/31/2017
FORMAT: VHS
TIME RIDDEN / FILM LENGTH: 42 minutes
DISTANCE RIDDEN WHILE VIEWING: 8.8 miles
TOTAL CINEMA MILES LOGGED: 6827.5 miles
SYNOPSIS: A summary of Gang-Land murders and power grabs from the 1930s through the 1970s
PROS AND CONS: The cons here are the condition of the media. This is a VHS tape and is not a good transfer nor is there high production value in the documentary.
That said, this is a very informative piece to watch. It delves into great detail regarding the frictions between the organized crime families of the century as well as the government's involvement both in promoting and combating organized crime.
Many of the interviews presented here are familiar faces in their much younger days as well as many organized crime figures that lay bare what really went in in the Cosa Nostra.
