Two crime families battle for supremacy in 1929 Chicago in this Italian crime spoof. One group, known as the "Sons of Mammasantissima" thereby professes its (ironic) dedication to the Virgin Mother. The other family works undercover from a Salvation Army soup kitchen. Neither family seems capable of accomplishing anything of note until a wily Sicilian arrives on the scene and sorts things out.
Reviews
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
