Why? Don't you know that many Italians are still sensitive and defensive about the mob? I've known many second and third generation Italian Americans who, sooner-or-later, felt the need to deny there is a correlation between being Italian and being mafia!!! Life is hard enough--why would anyone want a documentary to be made that could make life even more difficult for the innocent relatives and descendants of the documentary's criminal subjects?!

Thank you. I'm guessing that you had done plenty of research prior to posting these little known facts. Where did you find the information? I used to read through old newspapers from the 20's through the 40's and do not recall ever reading about most of your disclosures. However, that does not make your postings any less interesting. Or valid. I just like to do my own verification, if and where possible. I even did my own research whenever I recalled some- thing one of my elders reminisced about from those days. Often their memories reflected the news reports of that era. Fascinating.

A reasonably accurate overview for those not already familiar with the subject; but nothing new or of any depth. No original research or meaningful insight into the character or personalities of the individuals. A good collection of vintage newsreel footage, but again, nothing new. Crawford's narration seems like a cold read.

It is interesting to note that it was common in those days to create "reenactments" by the principles for the newsreel cameras; pretty easy to pick out.

I would like to see a documentary about famous African-American gangsters, mobsters and serial bank robbers from the 20s and 30s who were "seen otherwise" -- but suspect it would be a rather short film.

Apparently this is "Part 1" of 'Dealers in Death' -- where are the other episodes?

It's sad how these white criminals were glorified while blacks ones were seen otherwise.
