My father grew up in that neighborhood and knew a lot of those guys ... some of the events in that movie i can remember hearing as a kid when him and my Uncles would hangout at the house and talk about the old days ... (not my real uncles ... I had one uncle named Al the Baker)
when that movie came out my mom told me that Henry was no Ray Liotta but was more like Danny DeVito .. and used to ask her out all the time .. it was very weird when the movie came out to see variations on old stories .... I can still watch that movie anytime it comes on and love it ....
