Dirty Hollywood: Where Gangsters Never Die

Dirty Hollywood tells the story of the long, strange romance between Hollywood and real-life criminals. From Scarface (1931) to Reservoir Dogs (1991), gangster films shaped cinema. Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky — these mafia legends inspired Hollywood. And to make authentic films, directors like Coppola, De Palma, Scorsese, Tarantino, and Michael Mann all turned to real criminals as advisors.
