Hollywood Gangland: The Movies' Love Affair With the Mob
In this scholarly retrospective of gangster films-from a 1912 D. W. Griffith silent film to the Godfather saga-McCarty pays particular attention to the biggest gangster stars: Robinson, Cagney, and Bogart; to the fictionalizations of real-life gangsters; and to the genre's comeback after World War II.
