An era of jazz Jalopies Prohibition And Trigger-Happy Punks.” — Baby Face Nelson this essay examines a distinctive and coherent cycle of films, pro- duced in the late 1950s and early 1960s, which exploited the notoriety of Prohibition-era gangsters such as Baby Face Nelson, Al Capone, Bonnie Parker, Ma Barker, Mad Dog Coll, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, John Dillinger, and Legs Diamond. Despite the historical specificity of the gangsters portrayed in these “bio-pics,” the films each display a marked interest in relating their exploits to contemporary topical con- cerns. Not the least of these was a desire to exploit headline-grabbing, sensational stories of delinquent youth in the 1950s and to link these to equally sensational stories of punk hoodlums from 1920s and 1930s. In the following pages, some of the crossovers and overlaps between cycles of juvenile delinquency films and gangster bio-pics will be critically eval- uated. At the centre of analysis is the manner in which many of the films in the 1950s bio-pic gangster cycle present only a passing interest in pe- riod verisimilitude; producing a display of complex alignments between the historical and the contemporary. 185 peter stanfield DeLInQUENTS, gANGSTERs, AnD PUnKs In the 1950s, the representation of gangsters and of juvenile delinquents shared a common concern with explaining deviancy in terms of a rudi- mentary psychology,

    History of the U.S. Attorneys

    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district.

  • The Irish-American Gangster in Film

    The Irish-American Gangster in Film

    Farrell 1 THE IRISH-AMERICAN GANGSTER IN FILM By Professor Steven G. Farrell 1 Farrell 2 When The Godfather was released in the early seventies, it effectively created a myth of the virtually unbeatable Italian crime family for the American public that endured for the remainder of the century. This film also effectively eliminated all other white ethnic organized gangs from the silver screen, as well as from the public’s eye. Hollywood, as we shall see, had their history wrong in this case. The Italian Mafia was never as invincible as Hollywood depicted it on film, nor did they always have everything their own way when it came to illegal activities. It wasn’t until the close of the last century that the film industry began to expose the old-time hoods as being fallible and besieged on all sides from new criminal elements connected with newly arrived immigrant groups. The Cubans, Russians and the Colombian hoods, along with the longer established African and Mexican American gangs, had begun to nibble away at the turf long controlled by the almighty Italian mob. As the paradigm of the urban underworld began to shift to reflect the new realities of the global economy, another look at the past by historians and Hollywood is revealing that the Italian gang never had absolute power as it was once commonly believed. The Irish hoodlums, to single out the subject of this paper, were actually engaged in gangland activities years before the arrival of the Italians and the Irish also competed with the Italians up until recently.

Excellent Book on the Dutchman and His TimesVon Ein KundeThis is probably the best book written about crime in the 1920s and 1930s, Dutch Schultz, and his life and times. Author Paul Sann has written a tough and revealing book second to none about this amazing era. A most read for anyone interested in these subjects. KurzbeschreibungOn October 23, 1935, a rusty, steel-jacketed .45 slug tore through the body of 33-year-old Dutch Schultz. It was no accident. Schultz, the Beer Baron of The Bronx who reaped $2 million a month as king of Harlem's numbers racket, had gone too far, having threatened to murder Thomas E. Deweythe rackets prosecutor whod drawn up the tax indictment against him. The result was the biggest gangland execution since the 1929 St. Valentines Day Massacre in Al Capone's Chicago..Schultz didnt die instantly, lingering over a day, a police
  • Philadelphia Bootlegging and the Report of the Special August Grand Jury

    Philadelphia Bootlegging and the Report of the Special August Grand Jury

    Philadelphia Bootlegging and The Report of the Special August Grand Jury During the prohibition era of the 1920s, America's largest cities pro- duced famous bootleggers who have become part of our historical folklore. In Chicago, Al Capone, Frank Nitti, and Jack Guzik were notorious in their own day and further immortalized by the television series "The Untouchables." New York City, during the same period, spawned "Dutch" Schultz (Arthur Flegenheimer), Jack "Legs" Dia- mond (originally a Philadelphia boy), Meyer Lansky, "Lucky" Luciano, and Frank Costello. Yet who can name a Philadelphia boot- legger? The lack of famous names from what was then the third largest American city does not reflect a lack of bootlegging in Philadelphia. Rather, it reflects the degree to which widespread corruption and lax law enforcement deprived Philadelphia's bootleggers of the publicity that might have made them underworld legends. Two periods during the 1920s, however, found bootlegging in Philadelphia the focus of media attention. The first period occurred after Mayor W. Freeland Kendrick unexpectedly named Smedley D. Butler, a Brigadier General in the U.S. Marines, to be Director of Public Safety beginning in January 1924. "Old Gimlet Eye" had won two Congressional Medals of Honor for his service in the Spanish- American War, the Philippine pacification, and Latin American ex- peditions. After just two years as Director of Public Safety, though, he told reporters: "Sherman was right about war, but he was never head of police in Philadelphia."1 Butler completely reorganized the police department. When he had taken over, police precinct boundaries generally corresponded to po- litical ward boundaries, so that local politicians could name the local police captain and thereby control the police in the ward.

  • Out of My Past

    Out of My Past

    OUT OF MY PAST Hollywood's mysterious tough guy reveals that he was once the gun-toting consort of underworld big shots. Here, finally, Raft tells the truth about his career as a young gangster. By GEORGE RAFT as told ro Dean Jennings It doesn't always take the impact of a bullet to convince a man that he has messed up his life. Sometimes one word is enough. I was driving home from Santa Anita one afternoon in the spring of 1955. The Freeway was full of cars and my wallet was full of noth- ing after a bad day at the track. I've had a thousand bad afternoons like that. Maybe more. I guess I've dropped a million dollars on the horses, and I kept right on telling myself I'd get even. I was driving alone that day, and I flipped on the radio just to hear some voices. I heard a news broadcaster saying: "George Raft, the movie star who made his reputation playing gangster roles, had his past catch up with him today. The Nevada State Tax Commission denied Raft a gambling- casino stockholder's permit because he was friendly with such underworld figures as Owney 'The Killer' Madden, Joe Adonis, Lucky Luciano and Buggsy Siegel." The wheel jumped out of my hand and I missed going off the road by inches. Horns were scolding behind me, and one man passed me shaking his fist and yelling, "Hey, big shot, why don'tcha crawl back in your hole?" There was a time—before I learned to control my ex- plosive temper—when I would have chased a guy like that and knocked his teeth out.
  • Political Incorporation and Political Extrusion: Party Politics and Social Forces in Postwar New York

    Political Incorporation and Political Extrusion: Party Politics and Social Forces in Postwar New York

    _________ C HAP T E R 6 ______---'__ Political Incorporation and Political Extrusion: Party Politics and Social Forces in Postwar New York THE MOVEMENT of new social forces into the political system is one of the central themes in the study of American political development on both the national and local levels. For example, Samuel P. Huntington has character­ ized the realignment of 1800 as marking "the ascendancy of the agrarian Republicans over the mercantile Federalists, 1860 the ascendancy of the industrializing North over the plantation South, and 1932 the ascendancy of the urban working class over the previously dominant business groups."! And the process of ethnic succession-the coming to power of Irish and German immigrants, followed by the Italians and Jews, and then by blacks and Hispanics- is a major focus of most analyses of the development of American urban politics. Most accounts of political incorporation, however, are based on an analy­ sis of only one face of a two-sided process. The process through which new social forces gain a secure position in American politics is simultaneously a process of political exclusion. This process involves not simply a conflict between the new group and established forces over whether or not the new­ comers will gain representation, but also a struggle over precisely who will assume leadership of the previously excluded group. Established political forces are not indifferent to the outcome of these leadership struggles, and the defeat of potential leaders who are regarded as unacceptable by estab­ lished forces is the price that emergent groups must pay to gain access to po\,ver.
