Mobsters


My VCR cover of the movie Mobsters.



Christian Slater and Patrick Dempsey portray Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky in this story of legendary gangsters' rise to power from 1917 to 1930. Richard Grieco joins their mob squad as Bugsy Siegel, and F.Murray Abraham and Anthony Quinn show up as toughies Arnold Rothstein and Don Misseria.

Inside Story:
The movie's trailer has been drawing snickers from audience members who just can't see the nouveau brat-pack stars as slick, ruthless criminals, but producer Steve Roth says he cast young because Lansky and Luciano were teenagers when they met. The kids, he says got along famously with the veterans, "Anthony Quinn would tell them lots of stories because he knew these guys. He told how Bugsy Seigel once shot at him because he was going out with Bugsy's girl. Christian was just absolutely starry-eyed."
