I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

In my humble opinion Snooky (Stu Weltamn) was the star of the show. His good looks, Damon Runyon voice and his impressive nose made him among other things an icon.Along with the likes of Victor Mature with a slight touch of Ben Turpin.What an actor! He is a real sweet guy, a king of gentle thug with a great mug!Get Stu out there again!He is a bit long in the tooth and grey in the hair dept...(what he has left)What a character...Even his mother loved him!A Million dollar smile and charm of Rudy Valentino
