Bonanno-a Godfather's Story

I ordered the movie in DVD Format, but I received the VHS by mistake. So I returned it. Now I reordered the DVD. I've seen the movie before and I enjoyed it.

I saw the movie when it originally aired on showtime. I recorded the movie then and was excited when it was released for sale. When I watched the store released movie I noticed that the running minutes is two hours and twenty minutes. THATS WRONG! The originally aired "Bonanno: A Godfather's Story" was almost or exactly five hours long. They cut out two and a half hours of important moments of Joseph Bononno's life. I feel cheated and disappointed that someone allowed this to happen to someones biography. I like mafia movies and I thought this was a good one.

I watched this movie years ago and truly enjoyed it since it was a true story. I am very interested in Mafia stories and found this one to be so true to home. Thank you for the fast shipment. I haven't watched it yet, but am so looking forward to it. Thank you

Video is unbelievable interesting because the video shows Kennedy was shot by the Mafia from the storm drain not the grassy noel.

and Joe Kennedy's creation of the family fortune thru bootlegging and stock swindling is no longer even disputed. Even members of the Kennedy family no longer dispute that the family fortune is based on crime--specifically drug smuggling.And, Joe Kennedy himself later admitted, as frist chairman of the SEC, he outlawed many of the (stock swindling) tactics he'd used to get rich at small investor's expense.We also know that the only reason Jack Kennedy won the crucial W. VA primary in '60 was because of Sam Giancana's help in rigging the primary.These facts are not any longer in dispute--nor are the stories about dead people voting in Chicago in their thousands.This movie exaggerated Bonnano's role at the expense of the true "capo di capi", Sam Giancana. He is the character upon Michael Coreleone's of "The Godfather" series is based upon. He was the one who ordered Kennedy's hit.He was also found with five .22 caliber bullets in his back--of the same type frequently used by CIA, ah, shall we call them button men?The movie is long and dull and not very interesting; the Liberals farcical denials of historical fact are more interesting.The real story of the Mafia and how they bought the Presidency (as his tangenitally detailed in the "Rat Pack" with Ray Liotta and Don Cheadle a few years back) is far more interesting than this run of the mill TV mini-series. Even the talents of Landau, Olmos, et al can't save this from the worst of all fates for art: mediocrity.

A shorter version of the movie I wanted. Service was good. I would use them again.

Very informative and from a Don's perspective. And if you can trust the information, we finally know who killed Kennedy.

I enjoyed this movie very much
