Lansky (1999)

Actors: Beverly D'Angelo (actress), Robert Miano (actor), Max Perlich (actor), Eric Roberts (actor), Chris Marquette (actor), Dean Norris (actor), Ron Gilbert (actor), Sal Landi (actor), Richard Dreyfuss (actor), Bert Remsen (actor), Mickey Knox (actor), Anthony LaPaglia (actor), Peter Dobson (actor), Octavia Spencer (actress), Illeana Douglas (actress),

Plot: This is the telling of the life of organized crime boss, Meyer Lansky, as remembered by him as a very old man who is moving about the world looking for some country that will take him in since the US courts have put out an extradition order for him to stand trial. It tells of a young man growing up in the Jewish ghettos of America's big cities at the turn of the century and of his bright intelligence which he used for moving into crime. "I'm only a gambler," he claimed, "just like most all Americans." When asked by a reporter to comment on the killings that occurred under his leadership he declined, thereby making this film's thrust that of personalities and relationships rather than of acts of violence or the workings of corrupt deeds.

Quotes:

Bugsy: I'm Bugsy Siegel, ever heard of me?::Showgirl: No, what do you do?::Bugsy: I kill people.

Don Salvatore Faranzano: [supposedly, Lucky offers his services to Faranzano as a mole against Don Masseria] I hope you can appreciate some facts, Charlie. Conditions have changed. Some people have gotten too powerful... I want you to take care of Don Masseria personally, do it yourself. That's not all, though. Lansky and Siegel. I know you've always gotten along, but Jews, they're different. You cross 'em once, fight with 'em once, and they're gone. I know this. I've heard they're a different race... Jews. You and I take Communion. They don't even believe in sin. They'll betray you, just like they betrayed Jesus H. Christ Himself. You join my family, they die. No one will even know you approved.::Lucky: Looks like I don't have a choice, do I? Either I agree to kill my friends, or you kill me.::Don Salvatore Faranzano: That's right.

Lucky: [to his father] What are you sayin, Pop? That because I'm a greasy immigrant, all I can do is clean fish? That ain't enough! I got a right to find work that uses my brain!

Don Salvatore Faranzano: [to Papa Luciano, after molesting both him and his wife] I just felt your balls, so I know why she needs her own.

Arnold Rothstein: Mr. Luciano, you're walking down the street. Suddenly you realize you're being followed. It's a hit. Walking towards you is a second gunman. You have time to fire at only one of them. Which one do...::Lucky: [cutting him off] I don't accept the question. To live, I gotta kill 'em both.

Lucky: I don't have a wife, because emotion is dangerous.::Arnold Rothstein: Aren't you human?::Lucky: Would it help?

Arnold Rothstein: I have ships and distilleries in Scotland. I need distribution in New York.::Lucky: Masseria? Faranzano?::Arnold Rothstein: Either of them would kill me.::Lucky: And I wouldn't because...?::Arnold Rothstein: You have Jewish partners.::Lucky: Maybe I kill them too.::Arnold Rothstein: You can't afford to; you're in the squeeze. Either Masseria or Faranzano realize you exist, they squash you like an ant...::Lucky: [the penny drops for him]... Unless I get a powerful friend, right?::Arnold Rothstein: [indicates himself] Exactly.

Arnold Rothstein: What's the secret of America? MONEY! Everything is MONEY, Charlie. But you'll never make any money, because you dress like a schmuck.

Frank Costello: [as the Big Four consider Faranzano's offer]... Fifteen percent off the top from Faranzano's operation, huh? You know how much money that is? Well, I don't either. But it's a hell of a lot.::Meyer Lansky: But as soon as we sold to Faranzano, he'd knock you off because you're Sicilian; one day, you might wanna be boss. If he iced you now, there'd be a stink all right. But if you're working for Faranzano, who's gonna come after him except the three of us? And then we'd all be history.::Lucky: That's why we're in partnership with these Jews, Frankie.

Don Giuseppe 'Joe the Boss' Masseria: [to Luciano] I've seen a lot of guys just like you come and go, Charlie. The ones who come, they come to me. The ones who go... [laughs]... I'm the guy who sends them off.

Plot: Background Information: Padre Salvatore Gabriele Anastasio (Anastasia) arrived at Santa Lucia Church in an Italian-American section of the North Bronx in 1951. He was assistant pastor there for 12 years, having come to the USA from Calabria. His two brothers Albert (Umberto) of Murder, Inc. fame & Anthony "Tough Tony" Anastasia, who ran the Brooklyn docks, were well known. Albert was a boss of the Gambino crime family and was their chief executioner. He was assassinated in the barber shop of the Park Sheraton Hotel in Manhattan on West 56th Street in October of 1957. Father Sal handled the wake & burial. Tony died of "natural causes" in March of 1963. After Father Sal buried his second brother, he left Saint Lucy's disgraced, to return to Parghelia, Calabria, where he wrote the book of the same name as this movie. He died in 1973. The story as Father Sal wrote it portrays Albert as a kind of "Robin Hood" and not the ruthless killer he was. Their are many comedic scenes which really were not very factual. Father Sal was beloved at Saint Lucy's and was very active in children activities, starting sports teams & leagues, in addition to founding the school's Father's & Mother's clubs. The Father's Club's Annual Dinner-Dances were legendary and many of his personal friends such as Sal Mineo, Jimmy Durante, Pat Cooper, the Royal Teens among others, all performed there. This movie has just been released on DVD after 40 years in the USA as "My Brother Anastasia".
