    Harvey Keitel is perfect for this role. Harvey did such a good job in the Irishman as Angelo Bruno....I didn't know Harvey Keitel was actually Jewish until researched him. So this role is probably like a capstone for him in Mob related films. When you think famous Jewish Mobsters, you think Rothstein, Sigel and Lanksy. Oh yeah and Dutch Shultz too.

    Having read Selwyn Raab's book, Five Families, this interview fleshes out detail that the book emphasizes, that Lansky was a significant figure but that the Feds estimates of his fortune at the end were typical Federal hyping of the magnitude of their cases. As mentioned, it's a lot more likely that Anastasia was the driving force behind Murder Inc. rather than Lansky.

    Just got done watching this movie and all I can say is WOW! Great movie! My Father during WW2 (1943-45) was on the USS Quincy #71! The Quincy took President Roosevelt to Europe for Yalta and the works on Israel!

    The last 10 min probably show the most interesting details of this mob movie monday, I'm curious to watch the movie... I remember the great Ben Kingsley in the role of Meyer in "Bugsy", I encourage to review this one Michael, to me is one of the best mob movies in spite of real feelings even with the dramatic liberties they took. Cheers!!

    Thanks for reviewing this great film. Lansky was my favorite and after this film I love him even more. It is always good to learn what is real in film and what is not. Thanks again.

    My paternal grandfather was an associate of Lansky and Siegel in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Born Jacob Goldberb, he changed his name to Jack Mayer (that's a story in and of itself) and continued his work with Lansky - after the hit on Ben Siegel - in L.A., Vegas, and Phoenix. Known as the best "fixer" of horse races in the business.

    I vaguely remember several articles about
    Myer Lansky coming back to Miami from Israel and the
    Government was waiting for him at the airport. I was about 9
    Years old. Living with my grandparents in Ft Lauderdale. It was quite a big deal.

    Hi Mickel I had the honor to met Mr Lanski on the beach near by Tel Aviv. I was in the age of 18 and he was a very nice old man .One thing that you didn't point, is the great sense of humor that he had.

    Could you please do a history of the Mafia? Like the evolution of the organization from the 20s and 30s (the era of prohibition) to the 40s and 50s, 60s and 70s, and so on. And how the organization changed with the times/how it set the tone for the era in question.

    Hey Michael if possible, it would be nice if you did a video on Vitto Rizzuto, the Boss in Canada that did the 3 capos murder I believe. Thank you for your videos Michael!
