The Pope Of Greenwich Village
1984, 115 minutes, Rated M
Turn up the Sinatra, put on the leather jacket, and slip into "a rollicking high-voltage movie that produces tears of laughter" (New York Daily News). Mickey Rourke (The Rainmaker), Eric Roberts (Runaway Train) and Daryl Hannah (Splash) "create emotion-charged characters who tingle with energy and play with conviction" (The Hollywood Reporter) in this modern day classic that's as robust and powerful as Italian espresso.
In New York's Little Italy, smooth-talking hustler Charlie (Rourke) works in a restaurant and dreams of one day buying his own with his girlfriend Diane (Hannah). His wiry wheeler-dealer cousin Paulie (Roberts) waits tables, skims money off checks and is always scheming to score big. But they're all about to pull a scam on the wrong guy - Bed Bug Eddie (Burt Young), the Mafia king of Greenwich Village. Now these small-time con men are in big time trouble - trouble so big that even their mobster uncle might not be able to save them!
