Searching for an old mafia movie

Hi, I'm looking for a monochrome mafia/gangster/mobster movie that I was watching as a young teenager in 1997. Even for a mafia flick it was quite graphic and brutal, so that my mother only let me watch half of it.
I don't know where the setting of that movie was, but I guess Italy or the US, and it probably plays between the 30's and 50's. Alas, I can't tell if the date of the story line and the date of the film shooting are identical.
Here's what I can remember of that flick:
A mobster, quite old and dressed in a coat and wearing a hat, is threatening a Marilyn-Monroe type of woman who was lying on a bed. Because she didn't want to reveal a secret, the mobster was shooting her in her stomach. As she was still refusing to cooperate she was wounded again. Assuming she was already dead, the mafiosi was about to leave the room, when the woman was suddenly quietly moaning with pain. Eventually he fired a third, lethal shot. This incident happened backstage of some kind of gala night or the like.
Some scenes later that same mobster and an accomplice of his were torturing a man with his hands tied behind his back, and his neck tied to a heavy iron ball that was hanging from a rafter so that it was dangling behind victim's head. The accomplice was punching him hard in both the gut and the head, making the iron ball swing back and forth again and again, hitting the back of his head. As he still refused to reveal the necessary information, the mobster pushed his gun into the victim's mouth. That was the point where my mother was covering my eyes using her hands and forbade me to keep on watching that movie.
Can someone help me find the title of that mobster flick? That would be awesome. Thanks!

Once upon a time in America. Sounds like the scene where De Nero mistress and child hood friend gets it Thank you both for your help! ???????? I've searched YT for the whole movie, or at least for the interrogation scene, but I could merely find some short scenes and compilations of that movie. However, the "vibes" and scenery of that movie do seem about right. Could you guys provide me with two screenshots of the interrogation scene and the murder scene, please, so that I'll get to know if it's worthwhile for me to spend my money on that flick? With regards!

Sorry pal. It was on Netflix or Amazon for the longest time. I just searched it and it's only on showtime Make sure you get the unedited version though. It goes from three hours to over four hours. I don't know what "on showtime" means, but I found that flick on YouTube (229 min). I'll get me a Google Play Card and see if it's indeed the movie I've been looking for. But I'm confident that y'all are right.

I found "Once upon a Time" legal and for free on Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7uv75bAlas, it was not the movie I was looking for. ? Nevertheless, thank you, guys, for you help! Maybe it's time to admit to myself that I will never find out the name of the film I was watching as a teenager. ???? If anyone knows a mafia flick where a victim is getting gut-punched and a pistol put into his mouth during an interrogation, and where a Monroe-esque showgirl is being shot in the stomach thrice by an old mafia boss, please let me know!
