| Opplysninger | The Genovese Family : An inside look at the ruthless Genovese crime syndicate known as "The Ivy League of the Underworld." Vito Genovese rose to power working under legendary mob boss Lucky Luciano. Through murder, cunning and greed, he carved out a place in crime history and established one of the pre-eminent crime families in America. From Vito's rise to the top of the underworld to their ongoing operations, this is an inside look at the crime syndicate that is so well run that one detective calls them The Ivy League of the Underworld. The Genovese Family put the "organized" into "organized crime", then backed it up with a ruthless determination to remain all-powerful in the mob world. Known as the most elite of the five crime families in New York, the Genovese family has always boasted some of the shrewdest and most feared members in Mafia history. Using rare historical footage and new interviews with mob experts, we reveal the family's tale through the life stories of its four most charismatic bosses: Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Frank Costello, Vito Genovese, and Vincent "The Chin" Gigante. A soldier breaks the sacred mobster's oath of silence (omerta) and the Genovese family hits the headlines. From Joe the Boss to Vito Genovese to the "Odd Father" himself, every personality and gripping detail in this ongoing saga comes to life.
