Mar 19th 2009
28
Henry was half Italian & they were associates of the Lucchese family
Mar 19th 2009
34
i was thinking more along the lines of
Mar 19th 2009
35
Jimmy Conway and Henry Hill were both half Irish
Mar 19th 2009
36
      and them being irish plays a big part in the movie....
Mar 19th 2009
43
      it plays almost no part in the movie at all
Mar 19th 2009
46
           I concur.
Mar 18th 2015

      Jimmy & "The Gent "Burke was an orphan raised in foster homes
Mar 19th 2009

Mar 17th 2009
