vegas-voss Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Following on from the gangster film thread.Did anyone else use to watch this brilliant tv series.It used to be on late at night and starred the guy from Snatch(forget his name now)as a cop trying to stop a young gangster from rising to the top.It ran for 2 seasons and was set between 1959-1963 and was produced by Micheal Mann. just found out the stars name was Dennis Farina.

vegas-voss Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 I never realised just how big a cast it had in it.Some really big future stars and the director went on to make Bad Lieutenant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTBCAL Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Remember it well. Used to work in a wee private club up Polwarth way and when the theme tune came on I knew it was nearly home time. Del Shannon - Runaway. IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
