Ooh yeah, Luciano's heroin connections were the best in the world;
His only competition in the mafia I've seen was FRank COppola, but that's cause he was hooked up into Sicilian politics, where as lucky was hooked up into international intelligence agencies.
So they were in the same business but powerful for different reasons, as always LUciano had a wider array of contacts and associations, just how he operated, he didn't discriminate...

No. Lansky never ran the mob. Not for a second, not EVER.

cosign. The part of the Last Testament where Lucky goes off on a rant about Lanksy and Jews taking over the mafia was in the finale and should be read like a greatly exaggerated movie ending, cause that's all it was.

Obviously the movie script never got presented to one of the big movie production firms of the time. If it were, that part would have gotten the script rejected (by the overwhelmingly Jewish Hollywood establishment) or it would have been edited out. I go with it being rejected. After WW2, anti semitism generated a paranoid fear anywhere it appeared, even today.

I ask cause a lot of it seems on the money to me;
Any thoughts?


Well besides the diamonds of hearts incident there was that one about the cardinal from Pennsylvania calling Luciano to talk about Al Smith. that doesn't seem all that plausible.
