A small-time Jewish racketeer, just out of prison, finds himself in a quandary. Returning to his old neighborhood, he finds that the streets that he and his friends once controlled have now been taken over by blacks and Hispanics. On top of that, he must try to get back with his family, who want nothing to do with him. Written by frankfob2@yahoo.com |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The film was shot in black-and-white in the late 1960s and was not given a proper release. Almost exactly 20 years later, in 1989, it was discovered (director Michael Roemer, transferring the film to VHS as a gift to his family, overheard it make a technician laugh and was boosted enough to submit it to the Toronto and New York film festivals, with it winning six Independent Spirit Awards the following year) and given a proper release for the first time.
