Short description

John Gotti, the head of a small New York mafia crew breaks a few of the old family rules. He rises to become the head of the Gambino family and the most well-known mafia boss in America. Life is good, but suspicion creeps in, and greed, rule-breaking and his high public profile all threaten to topple him.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film's success convinced HBO executives to give Dominic Chianese, Vincent Pastore, Tony Sirico, Frank Vincent, and Frank Pellegrino roles in the then-filming series "The Sopranos" (1999-2007).
  • For the role of John Gotti, actor Armand Assante gained about 15 kg.
  • For the duration of filming, Armand Assante rented a house in Toronto, and on a weekend shortly before production began, he invited his co-stars there, telling them, "we'll cook some grub, eat, and rehearse at the same time."
  • It was Armand Assante who suggested casting Anthony Quinn in one of the film's key roles.
