To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States.So says Henry Hill in the opening moments of Martin Scorsese’s “GoodFellas,” a movie about the tradecraft and culture of organized crime in New York.
Henry Hill is the inspiration for so many of the mafia related films and movies.
Wiseguys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. So when I went to New York I checked out the places where the real characters that were depicted in the movie hung out and lived.
He's a good fella.
Directed by Martin Scorsese.
You understand? With Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco.
But the New York native's Goodfellas role 25 years ago did not bring fame and fortune. He's all right.
Like you said to, uh, somebody, 'You're gonna like this guy. The story of Henry Hill and his life in the mob, covering his relationship with his wife Karen Hill and his mob partners Jimmy Conway and Tommy DeVito in the Italian-American crime syndicate.
This is a great case of real-life crossing over to fiction. It didn't even matter that my mother was Sicilian. He's one of us.' We were good fellas. Chris Serrone played the young Henry Hill, the mob turncoat who helped jail his onetime fellow Mafia members. [narrating] You know, we always called each other good fellas.
