Read DOUBLE DEAL by Michael Corbitt. Corbitt was a suburban Chicago Police Chief of Willow Springs, Illinois involved with moving money from the casinos at times for the bosses.

@trumpwonandyouknowit Год назад

DOUBLE DEAL by Michael Corbitt verifies Frank Rosenthal "'Ace Rostein'" Robert DeNiro character and Anthony Spilatro "'Nicky Santoro'"Joe Pesci character involved in Vegas.

@trumpwonandyouknowit Год назад

DOUBLE DEAL by Michael Corbitt introduces the real head of Chicago Outfit not mentioned for some unknown reason. Hy Larner appeared before the McClellan Commission in 1959.

Scorsese has made many brilliant films, but I think Casino is his finest work. It is 3 hours long, but so well done, I can watch it over and over again.

@demonicar Год назад

Everything Scorcese has made is gold, but the Irishman is his magnum opus in my opinion. The only single thing it lacks is it’s parallel to real events as most of the film was fiction. Casino is a clear number two to me.

@cybergothika6906 Год назад

I'm constantly watching Casino, as it stands as my favorite Scorsese movie of all times. Of course I loved the Irishman, even if I think deepfake does a better job. But Casino is just Casino, it hits my heart even better.

@sasazivanovic777 Год назад

Casino is one of the most rewatchable Movies ever made. Even ("a tiny bit")more than Goodfellas. Only little flaw is too much Drama with Ginger, i mean Sharon Stone was truly amazing as Ginger, but some Scene's maby needed to cut out. How ever, it will always be in my Top 5 Movies of all Time.

@johnreape2833 Год назад

I wasn't born in Vegas, but I moved there in 1977. I remember all of it also. I sat in the racebook, in the Stardust, two or three times when Lefty Rosenthal did his live shown on Saturday night at 11 pm { in the football season}. He would make his picks for the Sunday Pro Football games. They had a comedian on the show dressed up in a referee"s uniform with a whistle. He was funny as hell. To me that was the heyday of Vegas!! By the mid-eighties, the influence of the mafia was starting to wind down. It has never been the same since, and never will be.

@johnreape2833 Год назад

Allot of scenes are accurate from real life. Shows the true Las Vegas on how things are done. So cool knowing that it was not all fiction of what went on in that town.

Crazy young George Knapp looked in the news report

@mdog86 8 месяцев назад

Holy shit 16:30 Is that really THE George Knapp? Craziest part of this video for me lol, especially after following him for a number of years now in the UAP scene.

I was just in Las Vegas and made sure to stop and get a picture where Lefty's car blew up.

I met Mr. Rosenthal many times, his son Steve was my best friend growing up in SoCal back in the early to late 80’s

@MegaTurkeylips Год назад

This was amazing. The single biggest difference between the movie and real life is the lack of hair.

@bettertimeschi Год назад

Not enough mustaches and tinted glasses in the movie.

Unbelievable, Harry Reid before becoming a Senator and Senate Leader sparring in public with Lefty Rosenthal!

I found out later that as a kid, I only lived about 6 blocks from the Spilotro's family home on Melvina Ave. in Chgo. (Brickyard/Riis Park area) And I attended the same high school that one of the Spilitro boys attended a few decades before. Hugh Hefner also had attended the same high school and was remembered by one elderly teacher as a "hooligan".

The book was basically the script. The video footage is fantastic

@cartomancycarmen Год назад

Seeing the real people explains why Ginger cheated 😅. I never understood as a kid how she could cheat on robert deniro dressed like a King for shorty but now I see the real Sam was a dweeb

@stellac.e2086 Год назад

i read the book the movie is based on. that's why the movie is so accurate, it's the book that lays out EVERY DETAIL that SCORSESE filmed. the same with RAGING BULL, the book, then the movie.

I was a little boy living in Las Vegas during that time, but I vaguely remember "The Hole in the Wall Gang." That was the nickname of Spilotro's crew and I remember that intro. music to Rosenthal' TV show.

Good video. Finding the news footage, like a mini docudrama. Real time, real people, real events. Frank Collotta was technical advisor for the movie. He had some good vlogs on utube.

@bettertimeschi Год назад

Thanks! Frank definitely gave us some good info on here. The coffee with Cullotta’s are indeed worth watching
