Lansky is a 1999 American made-for-televisioncrimedrama film directed by John McNaughton and starring Richard Dreyfuss as the famous gangster Meyer Lansky, Eric Roberts as Bugsy Siegel, and Ryan Merriman as the young Lansky.

Plot[edit]

The movie circuits around flashbacks of Lansky's life, first showing Lansky as an old man looking for a rock to put on his grandfather's grave in Jerusalem. Upon seeing soldiers of the Israeli Defense Force, Lansky expresses regret that his grandfather never lived to see them. As he walks through a tunnel, he catches sight of an old man. He recalls how at the age of 10, he witnessed an elderly Jew being bludgeoned to death with an axe during a pogrom.

Later, as the shtetl is burning down, his parents hastily pack up their valuables and prepare to flee to America. Lansky's grandfather watches skeptically. His father suggests, 'You think I should fight? You stay, and you fight.'

The setting then changes to the Lower East Side, Manhattan. After his mother gives him money to go buy challah for Shabbat, Lansky comes upon a game of craps on the street corner. He then returns home penniless and deeply ashamed.

Later, Benjamin Siegel and Lansky are eyeing the Irish-American boy who operates the craps game. Lansky makes his bet, and as he's throwing the dice, the owner's friend slides him some dice. Certain that the game is rigged, Lansky shouts that he has won the bet. The Irish boy pushes at the young Lansky, Lansky pushes him back, and then the teenager's friend slides out his knife and cuts Lansky's arm. Siegel come into the scene and hits the knife-wielding kid with a brick, shouting at him to give him the money. As Lansky and Siegel are walking down the docks they see the Irish kid who bet against them in the alley. The Irish kid is shouting Irish words about him being Jewish. Lansky jumps into the sea where the Irish kid is hanging about, Lansky then goes under water and slits the Irish kid's neck.

As the blood is sliding around in the water, the film returns to Lansky as an old man drinking wine with the Jewish man. The Jewish man goes to pray in the synagogue.

The film then shows Lansky owning the crap games as a kid. Lansky goes into an alley to count his money, where he meets Charles 'Lucky' Luciano. When Luciano tells him to give protection money, the gang starts beating Lansky. Lansky says, 'nothing for nothing.'

Luciano takes a liking to Lansky's guts, and they then work together selling illegal alcohol. Bugsy, Luciano and Lansky are making their way driving the truck carrying alcohol. They are ambushed by Arnold Rothstein's associates. Luciano and Lansky make a deal, saying they will give them one truck full of alcohol and no one will be shot at. When Lansky, Bugsy and Luciano get into the truck, it is revealed that the truck was full of empty suitcases. Impressed, Rothstein invites them to his house for a sit-down. He offers Bugsy and Lansky a job to work for him, as he knows Lansky is smart.

After Rothstein is taken out, Meyer and Bugsy work with Luciano to take over the crime world, killing the Italian bosses Joe Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano. Luciano then sets up the Commission, and the five Italian families can now work freely with Jews. Meyer builds his prestige by running all the casinos in Cuba and helping Bugsy get a start in Las Vegas. After Bugsy spends more money than the plan and his girlfriend is questioned abouttaking money, Meyer buys his childhood friend time to turn the venture around. Online casino 500 no deposite bonis.

A month after warning Siegel that the Flamingo is not earning money, Lansky can no longer prevent the Commission from taking out Siegel.

Years later, Lansky is on the run in Israel to avoid tax evasion charges but is extradited back to the US. He is lucky to get off on the charges and retires to Miami.

At the climax of the film, Lansky gives an interview to a French journalist. When the journalist asks him what he would do if he could live his life over, Lansky responds, 'I wouldn't change a thing.'

Meyer Lansky Amerikanisches Roulette 1999 Cast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meyer Lansky (born Meyer Suchowljanski) (July4, 1902 – January 15, 1983; known as the 'Mob's Accountant') was aJewish-American organized crime figure who, along with hisassociate Charles'Lucky' Luciano, was instrumental in the development of the 'National Crime Syndicate' inthe UnitedStates.

Lansky developed a gambling empire which stretched fromSaratoga, New York to Miami and Las Vegas; it is also said that heoversaw gambling concessions in Cuba. Although a member of the Jewish Mafia, Lansky undoubtedly had stronginfluence with the Italian Mafia and played a large role inthe consolidation of the criminal underworld (although the fullextent of this role has been the subject of some debate).

Immigration andchildhood

Meyer Lansky was born Meyer Suchowljanski intoa Jewish family in Grodno (Belarus) to Max Suchowljanski and his wifeYetta.

Lansky met BugsySiegel when he was a teenager. They also became lifelongfriends, and together with Luciano, formed a lasting partnership.Lansky was instrumental in Luciano's rise to power by organizingthe 1931 murder of Mafia powerhouse Salvatore Maranzano. As ayoungster, Siegel saved Lansky's life several times, a fact whichLansky always appreciated. The two adroitly managed the Bug and Meyer Mob despite its reputation asone of the most violent Prohibition gangs.

Lansky was the brother of Jacob 'Jake' Lansky, who in 1959 wasthe manager of the Nacional Hotel in Havana, Cuba.

Gamblingoperations

By 1936, Lansky had established gambling operations in Florida, New Orleans, and Cuba. In that same year,his partner Luciano was sent to prison. As Alfred McCoyrecords:

'During the 1930s, Meyer Lansky 'discovered' the Caribbean for NortheasternUnited States syndicate bosses and invested their illegal profitsin an assortment of lucrative gambling ventures.. He was alsoreportedly responsible for organized crime's decision to declare Miami a 'free city' (i.e., notsubject to the usual rules of territorial monopoly).'

Lansky later convinced the Mafia to place Bugsy Siegel in chargeof LasVegas, and became a major investor in Siegel's Flamingo Hotel.

After Al Capone's1931 conviction for tax evasion andprostitution, Lansky saw that he too was vulnerable to a similarprosecution. To protect himself, he transferred the illegalearnings from his growing casino empire to a Swiss numbered bank account, whoseanonymity was assured by the 1934 Swiss Banking Act. Lansky eventually even boughtan offshore bankin Switzerland,which he used to launder money through a network of shell and holding companies.^[1]

War work

In the 1930s, Meyer Lansky and his gang claimed to have steppedoutside their usual criminal activities to break up rallies held byNazisympathizers. Lansky recalled a particular rally in Yorkville, a German neighborhood in Manhattan, that heclaimed he and 14 other associates disrupted:

The stage was decorated with a swastika and a picture of Adolf Hitler. Thespeakers started ranting. There were only fifteen of us, but wewent into action. We threw some of them out the windows. Most ofthe Nazis panicked and ran out. We chased them and beat them up. Wewanted to show them that Jews would not always sit back and acceptinsults.^[2]

During World WarII, Lansky was also instrumental in helping the Office of NavalIntelligence's Operation Underworld, in which theUS government recruited criminals to watch out for Germaninfiltrators and submarine-borne saboteurs.

According to Lucky Luciano's authorized biography, during thistime, Lansky helped arrange a deal with the US Government via ahigh-ranking U.S. Navy official. This deal would securethe release of Lucky Luciano from prison; in exchange the Italianmafia would provide security for the war ships that were beingbuilt along the docks in New York Harbor. German submarines weresinking allied shipping outside the coast on a daily basis andthere was great fear of attack or sabotage by Nazisympathizers.

TheFlamingo

During the 1940s, Lansky associate Bugsy Siegel persuaded the crime bosses toinvest in a lavish new casino hotel project in Las Vegas, theFlamingo. After long delays and large costoverruns, the Flamingo Hotel was still not open for business. Todiscuss the Flamingo problem, the mafia investors attended a secret meetingin Havana, Cuba in 1946. While the other bosses wanted to killSiegel, Lansky begged them to give his friend a second chance.Despite this reprieve, Siegel continued to lose mafia money on theFlamingo Hotel. A second family meeting was then called. However,by the time this meeting took place, the casino turned a smallprofit. Lansky again, with Luciano's support, convinced the familyto give Siegel some more time.

The Flamingo was soon losing money again. At a third meeting,the family decided that Siegel was finished. He had humiliated theorganized crime bosses and never had a chance. It is widelybelieved that Lansky himself was compelled to give the final okayon eliminating Siegel due to his long relationship with Siegel andhis stature in the family.

On June 20, 1947, Siegel was shot and killed in Beverly Hills, California. Twenty minutesafter the Siegel hit, Lansky's associates, including Gus Greenbaum andMoe Sedway, walkedinto the Flamingo Hotel and took control of the property. Accordingto the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation, Lansky retained a substantial financial interestin the Flamingo for the next twenty years. Lansky said in severalinterviews later in his life that if it had been up to him, BenSiegel would be alive today.

This also marked a power transfer in Vegas from the New York tothe Chicago crime families.Although his role was considerably more restrained than in previousyears, Lansky is believed to have both advised and aided Chicagoboss Tony Accardoin initially establishing his hold.

Lansky inCuba

After World War II, Lansky associate Lucky Luciano was paroled from prison onthe condition that he permanently return to Sicily. However, Luciano secretly moved to Cuba,where he worked to resume control over American mafia operations.Luciano also ran a number of casinos in Cuba with the sanction ofCuban president General Fulgencio Batista, though theAmerican government succeeded in pressuring the Batista regime todeport Luciano.

Batista's closest friend in the Mafia was Lansky. They formed a renownedfriendship and business relationship that lasted for three decades.During a stay at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York in the late 1940s,it was mutually agreed upon that, in exchange for kickbacks,Batista would offer Lansky and the Mafia control of Havana’sracetracks and casinos. Batista would open Havana to large scalegambling, and his government would match, dollar for dollar, anyhotel investment over $1 million, which would include a casinolicense. Lansky, of course, would place himself at the center ofCuba's gambling operations. He immediately called on his'associates' to hold a summit in Havana.

The Havana Conference was held onDecember 22, 1946 at the Hotel Nacional. Thiswas the first full-scale meeting of American underworld leaderssince the Chicago meeting in 1932. Present were such notablefigures as Joe Adonisand Albert'The Mad Hatter' Anastasia from New York, Frank Costello,Joseph 'JoeBananas' Bonanno, Vito Genovese, Moe Dalitz, Thomas Luchese, Santo Trafficante Jr. from Tampa, Carlos 'The LittleMan' Marcello from New Orleans, and StefanoMagaddino, Joe Bonanno's cousin from Buffalo. From Chicagothere was Anthony Accardo and the Fischetti brothers,'Trigger-Happy' Charlie and hisbrother Rocco, and, representing the Jewishinterest, Lansky and “Dandy” Phil Kastel fromFlorida. The first to arrive was Salvatore Charles Lucky Luciano, whohad been deported to Italy, and had to travel to Havana with afalse passport. Lansky shared with them his vision of a new Havana,profitable for those willing to invest the right sum of money. Acity that could be their 'Latin Las Vegas,' where they would feelright at home since it was a place where drugs, prostitution, laborracketeering, and extortion were already commonplace. According toLuciano’s evidence, and he is the only one who ever recounteddetails of the events in any detail, he confirmed that he wasappointed as kingpin for the mob, to rule from Cuba until such timeas he could find a legitimate way back into the U.S. Entertainmentat the conference was provided by, among others, Frank Sinatra whoflew down to Cuba with their friends, the Fischetti brothers.

In 1952, Lansky even offered then President Carlos Prío Socarrás a bribe ofU.S. $250,000 to step down so Batista could return to power. OnceBatista snatched control of the government that he hadrelinquished, he quickly put gambling back on track. The dictatorcontacted Lansky and offered him an annual salary of U.S. $25,000to serve as an unofficial gambling minister. By 1955, Batista hadchanged the gambling laws once again granting a gaming license toanyone who invested $1 million in a hotel or U.S. $200,000 in a newnightclub. And that meant anyone. Unlike the procedure foracquiring gaming licenses in Vegas, this provision exempted venturecapitalists from background checks. As long as they made therequired investment, they were provided with public matching fundsfor construction, a 10-year tax exemption and duty-free importationof equipment and furnishings. The government would get U.S. $25,000for license plus a percentage of the profits from each casino.Cuba’s 10,000 slot machines, even the ones whichdispensed small prizes for children at country fairs, were to bethe province of Batista's brother-in-law, Roberto Fernandez yMiranda. An Army general and government sports director, Fernandezwas also given the parking meters in Havana as a little somethingextra. Import duties were waived on materials for hotelconstruction and Cuban contractors with the right 'in' madewindfalls by importing much more than was needed and selling thesurplus to others for hefty profits. It was rumored that besidesthe U.S. $250,000 to get a license, a fee sometimes more wasrequired under the table. Periodic payoffs were requested andreceived by corrupt politicians.

Lansky set about reforming the Montmartre Club which soon becamethe in place in Havana. He also long expressed an interest inputting a casino in the elegant Hotel Nacional,which overlooked El Morro,the ancient fortress guarding Havana harbor. Lansky planned to takea wing of the 10-storey hotel and create luxury suites for highstakes players. Batista endorsed Lansky’s idea over the objectionsof American expatriates like Ernest Hemingway and the elegant hotelopened for business in 1955 with a show by Eartha Kitt. The casino was an immediatesuccess.^[3]

Once all the new hotels, nightclubs and casinos had been builtBatista wasted no time collecting his share of the profits.Nightly, the 'bagman' for his wife collected 10 percent of theprofits at Trafficante's interests; the Sans Souci caberet, and thecasinos in the hotels Sevilla-Biltmore, Commodoro, Deauville andCapri (part-owned by the actor George Raft). His take from the Lanskycasinos, his prized Habana Riviera, the Nacional, the Montmartre Cluband others, was said to be 30 percent. What exactly Batista and hiscronies actually received in total in the way of bribes, payoffsand profiteering has never been certified. The slot machines alonecontributed approximately U.S. $1 million to the regime's bankaccount.

Revolution

However, the 1959 Cuban revolutionand the rise of FidelCastro changed the climate for mob investment in Cuba. On thatNew Year's Eve of 1958, while Batista was preparing to flee to theDominican Republic and then on to Spain (where he died in exile in1973), Lansky was celebrating the $3 million he made in the firstyear of operations at his 440-room, $18 million palace, the HabanaRiviera. Many of the casinos were looted and destroyed that night,including several of Lansky's.

On January 8, 1959, Castro marched into Havana and took over,setting up shop in the Hilton. Lansky had fled the day before forthe Bahamas and other Caribbean destinations.The new Cuban president, ManuelUrrutia Lleó closed the casinos. and nationalized all thecasino and hotel properties.

In October 1960 Castro nationalized the island's hotel-casinosand outlawed gambling. This action essentially wiped out Lansky'sasset base and revenue streams. He lost an estimated $7 million.With the additional crackdown on casinos in Miami, Lansky wasforced to depend on his Las Vegas revenues.

Lateryears

In his later years, Lansky lived a low-profile, routineexistence in Miami Beach, making life difficult for theFederal Bureau ofInvestigation (FBI). Lansky's associates usually met him inmalls and other crowded locations. Lansky's chauffeur drove himaround town to look for new pay phones almost every day. Lansky wasso elusive that the FBI essentially gave up monitoring him by themid-1970s.

During the 1970s, Lansky fled to Herzliya Pituah, Israel, to escape federal tax evasion charges.Two years later, Israel deported Lansky back to the U.S. However,the government's best shot at convicting Lansky was with thetestimony of loan shark Vincent 'Fat Vinnie' Teresa, aninformant with little or no credibility. The jury was unreceptive,and Lansky was acquitted in 1974. Lansky was known to have soldwhisky to the middle east terrorist Ali Agca (http://www.aliagca.com)

Death

Lansky's last years were spent quietly at his home in MiamiBeach. He died of lungcancer on January 15, 1983, aged 80, leaving behind a widow andthree children.^[4] Onpaper, Lansky was worth almost nothing. At the time, the FBIbelieved he left behind over $300 million in hidden bank accounts,but they never found any money.

However, his biographer Robert Lacey describes Lansky'sfinancially strained circumstances in the last two decades of hislife and his inability to pay for health care for his relatives.For Lacey, there was no evidence 'to sustain the notion of Lanskyas king of all evil, the brains, the secret mover, the inspirer andcontroller of American organized crime.'^[5] Heconcludes from evidence including interviews with the survivingmembers of the family that Lansky's wealth and influence had beengrossly exaggerated, and that it would be more accurate to think ofhim as an accountant for gangsters rather than a gangster himself.His granddaughter told author J.T. English that at his death in1983, Lansky left only $37,000 in cash.^[6] Whenasked in his later years what went wrong in Cuba, the gangsteroffered no excuses. 'I crapped out,' he said.

In September 1982, Forbes listed him as one of the 400wealthiest people in America. His net worth was estimated at $100million.
