Has any one ever watched the late Peter Falk portray Abe (Kid Twist) Reles ? 1960 film riveting performance by Falk.

Sorry, but that list is nonsense. Lepke Buchalter, Mendy Weiss and Louis Capone were executed by the state. Joe Masseria's death was done by the Cosa Nostra, not Murder Inc. Anyway, the name "Murder Incorporated" wasn't the name used by the participants, it was made up by a journalist who didn't know how organized crime worked. They thought Vincent Mangano, Albert Anastasia, Lepke Buchalter, Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel were Murder Inc., and Abe Reles was one of their soldiers. Mangano was the head of a crime family and Anastasia was his underboss. Lepke was a boss of his own gang, and Lansky and Siegel were co-leaders of their own gang too. Dutch Schultz headed another gang. Reles was a leader of a smaller gang operating in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn.
