Al Capone – Scarface
"Scarface" was many things to many people - a ruthless and vindictive murderer, a generous patron and a wild and glamorous impresario. But to all, Capone was the most notorious gangster in American history. This in-depth programme follows his journey from the immigrant neighbourhood of his youth to the glittering circles of Chicago's powerful elite and reveals how accountants finally brought his vast, criminal empire to its knees.
Bugsy Siegel
Journey to the heyday of the mob for the complete story of this legendary gangster, from his stormy relationship with the beautiful Virginia Hill to his mysterious murder. See rare footage of the dapper mobster and exclusive interviews with acquaintances and enemies. Examine Siegel's greatest legacy, the founding of Las Vegas in the barren Nevada desert, and hear mob insiders reveal the details of his betrayal at the hands of his best friend.
Louis Lepke
Names like Bugsy Siegel, Lucky Luciano and Frank Costello were on everybody's lips in the Roaring Twenties, but Louis Lepke preferred the shadows to the spotlight. There, he built a racketeering network second to none. This programme uses extensive archival footage, period accounts and modern interviews to probe Lepke's life, from his hardscrabble childhood to his much publicised death in the electric chair.
Frank Costello
Frank Costello profiles the shady life of the reluctant boss of the most powerful crime family in New York. Through period accounts, historic footage and the recollections of those who knew him, we discover how he
virtually ran New York politics through his iron grip on Tammany Hall and how his empire crashed down around him when the Kefauver hearings targeted him as the number one racketeer in the country.
Henry Hill ‘GoodFella’
From his childhood on the New York City streets to his ongoing attempts to come to terms with his criminal past, this fascinating programme chronicles the life of the man whose story formed the basis for the hit movie Goodfellas. Friends talk about his short-lived term in a Witness Protection Program while Henry reflects on his life in the Mob and the pivotal role he played in bringing down some of its most powerful figures.
The Gambinos
For much of the 20th century, they were the most powerful force in American organised crime. But internal strife and the tireless work of law enforcement have brought this once-dominant organization crashing down. In this programme we follow Carlo Gambino from his childhood in Sicily to the top of an empire that embraced everything from pizza joints to hi-jacking and extortion. Greed, power and betrayal are the central themes to the lives of Gambino, Castellano and Gotti, and makes for a thrilling real-life mob story.
