Director: Menahem Golan
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Weighty and uninspired attempt to do a Jewish Godfather that makes nothing at all of its promising material: the rise of the Syndicate and Murder Inc, and the subtle change of tack (to a corporate business ethic and image) under pressure from the clean-up campaigns of the late '30s and early '40s.Author: VG
