Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

bes-75357 Someone asked who was Vito Corleone from the Godfather, because they like this movie much better because it used real people. First of all Vito was a combination of Frank Costello, and Joe Profaci with a hint of Willie Moretti who found "Johnny Fontaine" in a club (Frank Sinatra in New Jersey and sponsored him . With Moe green (Benny Siege) name is derived from the two men that took over the Flamingo with his untimely demise Moe Sedway and Gus Greenbaum hence the name Moe Green . Now as for the other events in the Godfather even down to Frank Pantangely getting almost choke to death by the Resotto brothers that was actually one of the Gallo brothers Larry and he had another brother Albert and then there was Crazy Joe Gallo use it has been cited that he had Jerome Brown shot Joe Columbo in Columbus square and went into a coma for several years afterwards. However in Gangster Chronicles (Wars) seemed to be a little more like a biographical depiction . Of how things basically went down from the Castellamarese War between the Joe Masseri faction and Salvortore Maranzano . as depicted by Joe Valachi in 1963 testifying against Vito Genovese Frank Pantangely , and Michael Corleone. You just have to know what happened in reality to know who these guys are . Well enough for now as I'm not even going to spell check this . Just trying to help out fellow enthusiast, I hope that helps a little. drop me a line if . you have more question. I love this stuff.. BS, 426@gmail.

HALUK KILIC I watched this series when I was 13. I ed I watched them all in one weekend and it was beta video tape format and guess around 12 tapes. As I have personal interest in Mafia movies and series I can easily say this is one of the best mafia series I have ever watched. Micheal Nouri , Joe Panny and Brian Benben was great and espeacially Johnathan Banks as Dutch Shultz was extraordinary. It was a true story of orginise crime in New York from 1900 to 1930's and foundation of orginise crime in USA. The hit of Joe Masseria in Coney Island restaurant and hit of Dutch Shultz in a phonebox was unforgettable scenes. You can not compare this series with now a days phenomenon Sopranos because yes Sopranos is really great however it is fiction but Gangster Chronichles based on a true story and events. I would be really happy to watch it again but there is no DVD or VHS format of the series is available anywhere.

frank-ravlen Whether it was the TV company scheduling (or mis-scheduling!) but it seemed to me to stop in mid- action. Did you feel this? Just like 'Amazon' did! This was my first sight of both Joe Penny and Michael Nouri and I have followed with interest their careers from then to date. As an avid reader of all things Mafia styled this was the most authentic portrayal of that lifestyle until the more recent Sopranos and Goodfellas.Why have the TV companies never repeated this series? It would be a welcome change from some of the current dross that is being shown. The epithet 'Lucky' was given to Luciano after he survived a severe beating and left for dead in a wooded area, not as some say due to his gambling luck.

r-dury I notice a comment from Terri in the UK. I have the same problem. I want a copy of the original Gangster Chronicles - not the documentary sent to me from Amazon. This was still very good but, as Terri found, it was virtually 'news' clips and was NOT the original mini-series, as I it. As others have said - it was a proper history performed as portrayed by proper actors - such as Michael Nouri as Luck Luciano, Robert Davi as Vito Genovese and in particular Richard Castellano as Joe 'The Boss' Masseria. Can anybody out there tell me where I can get a copy? I cannot get, also, in the UK The Borgia Stick (1967) TV. and Timestalkers (1987) TV. Where do I go to get these please? RON DURY
