The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum by Margalit Fox | Trailer

America’s first great organized-crime lord was a lady-a nice Jewish mother named Mrs. Mandelbaum.
"The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum" paints a vivid portrait of Gilded Age New York-a city teeming with nefarious rogues, capitalist power brokers and Tammany Hall bigwigs, all straddling the line between underworld enterprise and “legitimate” commerce. Combining deep historical research with the narrative flair for which she is celebrated, Margalit Fox tells the unforgettable true story of a once-famous heroine whose life exemplifies America’s cherished rags-to-riches narrative while simultaneously upending it entirely.

What a clever, intriguing preview. The grainy stock footage, the sepia tone and the deliberate flickering add to the nostalgia aura. Here’s hoping this sells plenty of copies.
