Summary:
When Goodfellas hit the theatres in 1990, few could anticipate the unparalleled influence it would have on pop culture: that it would inspire future filmmakers and redefine the gangster picture as we know it today. Kenny chronicles the making and afterlife of the film that introduced America to the real modern gangster-- brutal, ruthless, yet darkly appealing, the villain we can't get enough of. With interviews with the film's major players, the book shines a light on the lives and stories wrapped up in the Goodfellas universe, and why its enduring legacy is still essential to charting the trajectory of American culture thirty years later. -- adapted from jacket
