First saw those movies more than 40 years ago . Knew Deniro played Corelone but didn't catch that he was Johnny Boy in Mean Streets. The two characters are in great contrast and would of taken away my enjoyment of Corelone knowing the same actor played the disgusting Johnny Boy..... Mean streets has some good parts but it's a stretch giving it a 7 for me . The kind of movie I would of liked best as a young no family guy otherwise forget it since it has nudity and the characters are the ..What da f--- type . Looking past that it's too long , while watching it I was left with the impression that the cast had been told..Don't worry about what you say , it's okay to improvise because nothing is going to end up on the cutting room floor. Going along with this thought in a favorite scene at the pool hall the actor playing Clams / Scallops I found out later use to entertain improvising with the group Ace Trucking......Little Italy ,1960's ,Hoods , all the stuff I like but it really falls short this time.

Forgot the title after viewing it so searched the above words and.....bingo. Really only watched parts because I wouldn't allow it to steal much of my time. The poor persons that watched it all confirmed what I was seeing.....drawn out staring people and scenes that the viewer can't make sense out of. This sort of movie usually only works if the main actors are known to the viewer , appealing to the eye , has interesting characters , etc. It's almost merciless to compare it to the drawn out scenes of OUTW -Bronson,Elam,Cardinale,etc. This good for nothin film would be better off chopped up and made into a short. Warning people not to lose time watching this should be considered a good deed.

Which means probably this movie is a cheapo and will not be a classic. A real crack-up reading astonished responses like grade z, a waste of time,etc .... Watched this movie for Anne Helm , sweet for me she can do no wrong .... The old casting couch movie guy is a riot , his performance is close to classic....The flaming man jumping in the swimming pool looks like he was doused by a tumbler of gasoline instead of a sipping glass of wine....Mitchell does a take-off on Chaney's Phantom of the Opera making a damsel look at his ugliness....Have no problem with the ending.
