Frank 'The Enforcer' Nitti
The program is "all you ever wanted to know about (gangster) Frank Nitti," and more. There is so much information in here that it was impossible to continue to take extensive notes after awhile.
For instance, I always thought Frank Nitta and Al Capone were from Chicago, but that' not so, according to this biography from the cable TV show "Mobsters." They came from New York City, where almost all immigrant families landed upon entering New York, and Francesco Nitti's parents were, literally "off the boat." Changing his name to "Frank" so he could fit in more
Whatever, the story of Nitti, Capone, New York City, Chicago, the Irish bullies, Red Barker, "The Outfit," Dion O'Banion, Bugs Moran, the North Side Gang, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, Joey Aiello, beer, bootlegs, murderers, intimidation, Johnny Torrio, Hymie Weiss, Elliot Ness and The Untouchables, Mayor Cermak, the IRS, a police setup...lots of names, gangs, brutality, loyalties, violence, business.....you name it, including the shocking ending of Frank Nitti.
This hour-long episode will wear you out just watching.
