Having met the writer, he told him the story of his life in which he told that he worked for Russell Buffalino, one of the significant bosses of the criminal world. By his order, he killed 25 people, among whom was the notorious Jimmy Hoff-the leader of the “International Brotherhood of Trucklers”-the American-Canadian trade union of truck drivers, which disappeared in a very mysterious way.

I read it and said Marty: “You must read it! It seems to me that this is what we should take off! It seemed that for the first time, a killer of this level violated the Omeru “Code of Honor” of the mafia, non -proceeding with the state.

The task is not easy, given the limited rental and release on the streaming service. This detail is not in the first for the venerable director who was nurtured the project for 10 years. The director did not want to use other actors in scenes where the characters were supposed to be young. The rejuvenation technology also did not inspire proper confidence for a project of such a scale. Before starting the filming, the film crew built small decorations of the Christmas party for the stage from the film "Glorious Guys" of the year.

Robert de Niro in the film “Glorious Guys” “Bob again played his monologues and some expressions. Get rid of Cadillac! Then they made a decision. For the director, the use of rejuvenation technology was a great risk, since he was afraid that an acting game would be lost behind it, but in reality this turned out to be wrong. Access Restricted scene of the Christmas party in the film "Glorious Guys" Death of "Mad Joe" Mad Joe Gallo, like Joe Colombo, was one of the most slandered mafia leaders of recent years.

Many of the rivals considered him an unpredictable person, with whom it is difficult to deal with - Gallo created this reputation for himself. First of all, a talented extortionist, he believed that a person who has a reputation as a madman would cause more fear. Joe Gallo on April 7, Gallo was in Kopakaban’s night club, celebrating his forty -third birthday at a party where guests such as Orbahs, comedy actor David Steinberg and his bride, observer of the secular chronicles Earl Wilson and his secretary.

At about four in the morning, the party ended in Gallo, his bodyguard the ranger, nicknamed "Pete - Greek" and a couple of people, among whom were women, went to the Chinese quarter on the border of Little Italy to eat. They stopped in the fish restaurant "Umberto" and sat down at the table; Gallo and his bodyguard - with his back to the door. Gallo probably felt safe; There is a law of the mafia that prohibits any shooting in New York Little Italy.

However, in the case of crazy Joe, an exception was made. The scene from the film "Irish" entered a man with a 38 -caliber gun in his hand. When the bandit opened shooting at Gallo and his bodyguard, the women screamed, and the visitors rushed to the floor. When the shooting began, Gallo jumped out from the table, headlong rushing to the front door through the bar.

This movement saved the life of other sitting at the table. The bandit continued to shoot at Gallo, who fell, not reaching a few steps to his Cadillac. The confrontation between Hoffs and Kennedy for America of those years was not a novelty of the transformation of trade unions into criminal syndicates. The scene from the film "Irishman" in the year of Hoff was sentenced to 15 years in prison for trying to bribe jury and fraud.

The appeals delayed the execution of the sentence.Jimmy's ardent enemy was Robert Kennedy. It was Robert that contributed to the deprivation of the Hoffs of trade union leadership. According to Hoffa's lawyer, Jimmy was so angry with Bob that he gave the dangerous idea of ​​the mafia about his brother John. Despite imprisonment in prison, Hoff found a successor and quietly managed business from prison.

Good luck in the person of President Richard Nixon, who was supported by Jimmy, very cleverly turned up to him. However, there was one condition, the essence of which was that Hoff could not occupy posts in trade union organizations up to a year.

Jimmy tried in every possible way to regain his power, but everything is in vain. He was free, but no less embittered. Having contacted one writer, he said under the record that he was going to clean and break off the ties with the mafia. Of course, Jimmy Hoff disappeared about this. In addition to hoffs, he allegedly shot mafiosi Joe Gallo. Of course, it can be assumed that these are almost one of the most striking stories in the life of such a gangster, but unfortunately, all this is a fiction from beginning to end.

In the year, the FBI conducted an official investigation and published a document “Hoffex Memo”, which listed the Hoffs murder suspects. As you could guess, Frank was not there. When Jimmy disappeared, the Irishman was in Philadelphia, and not in Detroit. The most interesting thing is Scorsese, and de Niro refused to meet with Tonselli. There, Moldia spent 20 minutes, saying de Niro, that his film would be based on lies, while the actor sat quietly and listened, ”says Bill.

The ruthless killer with his wife and three daughters, perhaps, arises the most important question: why did Frank Shiran confessed to such terrible acts if he did not commit them? According to Brandt, Shiran, closer to death, returned to his Catholic faith and wanted to cleanse his conscience, although this meant to admit that he killed his best friend. Shiran could not get any financial reward for his recognition, but his heirs, and to be more accurate, three of his daughters, can.

They and Brandt shared all the income from the book, including the rights to the film. Perhaps this was his plan. Even if this motive of writing a book seems cynical, it can be assumed that at least once in his life, Shiran had a disinterested motive. Access Restricted on Netflix since November 27!
