Cinema’s history is littered with criminals making film goers an offer you can't refuse... to take a seat at the table and carve out a piece of the action. Gritty or romantic, coolly silent or loaded with tough talk, gangster movies are the films where crime pays.... at least for a while.
Although it came many years after the gangster explosion of the 30s and 40s, Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 masterpiece is arguably the godfather of them all, and as it celebrates it's 50th Anniversary, it would be a sign of great disrespect if we did not offer up this tribute, an episode on all things gangster!
Join us for our tour of speakeasies, gambling dens, back alleys as we look for a big score and spend some time with cinema’s criminal classes.
