which is great, btw. mamet, de palma, great cast, terrific music. but anyhow, i was noticing that frank nitti, capone's #1 henchman, the guy who shot connery (spoiler?) and the guy costner threw off the roof is obviously a real dude from capone's crew.

frank nitti is also in road to perdition, which is fantastic, but he's played by stanley tucci, and is one of my favorite characters in that movie. but the characters are so different in the two movies. tucci's nitti was more of a business man, super powerful, but an office guy, not a goon with a gun.

i like tucci's nitti better.

here's the wiki article on nitti too. tucci's was more like the real story. stallone also played nitti in the 70's.The Link
