It's Murder

It has been a long time since I did a post on my blogs. Sorry to those of you who look forward to reading what I have to say. I have been busy working up a storm developing some new things that you will soon be seeing in the weeks to come.

Happy Throwback Thursday to you all.

Today I want to talk about two pictures that I really enjoyed.

The first is a movie Murder Inc. that tells the story of the organized crime unit in 1920-1940's. Murder Inc. was comprised of Jewish and Italian gangsters from various gangs throughout the Brownsville, East New York and Ocean Hill section of Brooklyn, NY.

People wonder why the Brownsville, and East New York sections of Brooklyn were so wild and rowdy. Look at its history.

Murder Inc. was an elite hit squad who killed for the mob accepting murder contracts from mob bosses all around the US and they were Louis 'Lepke' Bucholter exclusive kilers.

For all of you mob fans who may not be familiar with the fact that after the formation of the National Crime Syndicate. Two friends of Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel formed the killing squadron of Murder Inc.

This movie tells the story of the notorious Jewish mobster Louis 'Lepke' Bucholter.

I really enjoyed this 1960 work of cinematography. Which also stars Peter Falk as Abe 'Kid Twist' Reles.

A gem of a movie. If you have never seen it check it out. I can watch it again. It's brilliant.
