Others on these boards have pointed out another parallel between Sinatra and Johnny Fontaine. Seems the bandleader story really happened. The bandleader in Sinatra's case was Tommy Dorsey, and the Luca Brazi character was Willie Moretti, a much-feared NJ Mafioso who was an ally of many Dons.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
