I gotta say it was a total asskissing honor to have James Toback dictate to me his picks for “the best Jewish murder scenes on film,” whatever the hell that means. The Bugsy screenwriter, Jim Brown biographer, and Fingers director was rattling off all kinds of gangster shit to me (backstory info on Ben Siegel and Hyman Roth) around midnight in 2008, as he was on a plane waiting for takeoff to Cannes for the premiere of his asskissingly-awesome Tyson documentary.
