This film was the highest rated original telefilm in HBO history at that time. The success of the film convinced HBO to cast film costars, Dominic Chianese, Vincent Pastore, Tony Sirico, Frank Vincent and Frank Pellegrino in a series in development at the time called The Sopranos (1999).
Former mob capo turned motivational speaker Michael Franzese of the Colombo crime family, who worked with John Gotti of the Gambino crime family, considers this the most accurate mafia movie he has ever seen.
Was originally planned for a theatrical release, but the project fell short on funding. Therefore, it became an HBO film.
This movie features two actors with real life associations to real New York mobsters: Marc Lawrence, a veteran "heavy" who here portrays Carlo Gambino, was friends with Charles "Lucky" Luciano. He would visit him in Italy where Lucky was deported to after his release from prison. And Anthony Quinn, who portrays Neil Dellacroce, was friends with Frank Costello (Lucky's former under boss) after Costello had retired from the mob.
Frank Vincent (who portrayed Gambino mobster Robert DiBernardo) two years later would appear in another TV miniseries related to the Gotti era of the Gambino crime family, 1998's Witness To The Mob. This time he would portray Frank DeCicco, another member who was murdered almost two months earlier before DiBernardo, in the same year of 1986, on April 13.
"John Gotti: Jo Jo walks into the bar. He's wearin' a solid gold belt buckle this big: says Jo Jo on it, he's got a braclet on his arm: says Jo Jo on it, he's got a fuckin' necklace: says Jo Jo on it, he's got solid gold cuff links: they all say Jo Jo on 'em. Wait, wait this little guy walks into the bar and says, "Excuse me mister Jo Jo." He said, "Shut the fuck up, I don't want anyone to know I'm here.""
"F.B.I Agent: Mr. Gotti, I am with the F.B.I. John Gotti: You know what F.B.I. stands for don't you? F.B.I Agent: Why don't you tell me. John Gotti: Forever Bother the Italians."
