000437991 520__ $$a"Rico 'Little Caesar' Bandello, Al Capone, Michael Corleone, and Tony Soprano are among the many real and fictional characters that have fascinated film and television audiences since the beginning of motion pictures. This collection of essays looks at mafia movies over time and across cultures, from the early classics to the Godfather trilogy and contemporary Italian films, and in works by both established and emerging filmmakers. With provocative analyses of over forty films, Mafia Movies explores the rich variety of works within the genre. The essays examine the prevailing myths and major themes in the depictions of the mafia on screen, and identify distinctive elements and connections to other genres such as film noir, thrillers, and even westerns. In its consideration of both the Italian and American cinematic traditions, the volume reveals common influences and essential differences in their portrayals of the mafia."--P. [i].
