Blah Performances

Capo Nick Rosse is going to prison. His territory is divided between Martin Brooks and Johnny Seven. But Seven wants it all. Writer Ann Donaldson finds Brooks and wanders around lower Manhattan with him.

The dialogue is unconvincing, and the delivery often poor -- Miss Donaldson clearly over-enunciates to be heard in the back row. I was interested in seeing what the streets of Little Italy and Greenwich Village looked like back then, and cameraman Walter Holcomb lets you see the street and store signs, sometimes from interesting angles. Also, the music in the background is pretty good; that's not surprising, given that writer-director was a weekend host on the still-running MILKMAN'S MATINEE on WNEW.

Citations
Johnny G.: Alright. You see down there? This whole part of the city is controlled by a guy named Lou Caddie. The book, the policy, the joints, the whole works. Nobody makes a move without the okay from Lou. Lou's a great guy, see? A lot of class. He doesn't like any rough stuff. Everything goes along nice and quiet. Until two years ago. They sent a team down from Washington to get something on him.
Coffee: Did they?
Johnny G.: Our operation is plenty smart, but they got him. On income tax. I was with him this afternoon, when they turned his appeal down, so it's three to five years.
Coffee: What does it mean to you?
Johnny G.: Well, Lou, turns to me and he says, like nothing happened, he says: "It's all yours now, Kid. You and Allie get the whole set up; even the car keys".
Coffee: Car keys?
Johnny G.: Yeah, that's where he got his name - Lou Caddie. He always drives a Caddie Convertible.
Coffee: So it's between Allie and you.
Johnny G.: Yeah, me and Allie.
