  • Cases and Materials on the Outfit

Don't you want to finish school, don't you want to be a lawyer? Lawyers can steal more money with a briefcase than a thousand men with guns and masks. " Robert Warshow, in "The Gangster as Tragic Hero" Thus, the importance of the gangster film, and the nature and intensity of its emotional and esthetic impact, cannot be measured in terms of the place of the gangster himself or the importance of the problem of crime in American life. Those European movie-goers who think there is a gangster on every comer in New York are certainly deceived, but defenders of the "positive" side of American culture are equally deceived if they think it relevant to point out that most Cases and Materials Americans have never seen a gangster. What matters is that the experience of the gangster as an experience of on art is universal to Americans. There is almost nothing we understand better or react to more readily or with The Outfit quicker intelligence. This night, though, Pam had a different tale to tell. She announced that she and her friend Annie, the daughter of a prize-winning biologist, had gone to see "The Godfather," that they had been so deeply moved that, instead of going home, she'd gone tripping around town in search of the Mafia. I remember one night Pam showed up at the House at "The Mafia!" three in the morning.

Robinson. But there was a vital difference. Its examination of the Corleone family had a consistently human dimension that made the evil of the Mafia, who loved it for the wrong reasons, all the more horrendous. As a study of evil, it was all the better for assuming that such darkness emanated not from dyed-in-thewool villains but out of some of the family values we now most cherish. Added to that, of course, was the brilliance of its making, with Gordon Willis’ photography and Nino Rota’s score adding to Coppola’s fine orchestration of a terrific cast.
