That powder blue jacket is the most foreign looking thing I've ever seen. That must be some sort of regional look.

Right, I jsut meant that like Robinson was the prototypical mafioso in America, Gennano was the prototypical Guappo in Italy. They were obviously not the same person, but played the same role in the cinematic world.Originally Posted by iammatt
Sorry, iammatt, I obviously misread your original sentence. It's not like those guys all look alike.

Tony "Big Tuna" Accardo, arguably the most successful American Mafioso. Started as a bodyguard, at twenty years old, for Al Capone; ended up controlling Las Vegas. In his eighty six years he spent just one night in jail and died peacefully in his sleep.

Warren Beatty did a nice job playing him in the movie.Originally Posted by rnoldh
True, but for the most part the movie was chock full of errors. Specially with regards to Virginia Hill, who wasn't as "nice" as Mrs. Beatty played her out to be. This one, on the other hand...

Interesting pics... The Italian versions are garbed in Neapolitan stye (more truthful to their heritage?), whilst the Americans lean more towards the Roman school... why is that?

Good question. Maybe it is due to hollywood production.

I find the American fetishization of the mafia somewhat tiresome, truth be told.

That is actually why I posted the pics. I came across the Italian version and found it interesting how different the "artistic" vision of the mafioso was.
