Short description
Jessie is an aging career criminal who has been in more jails, fights, schemes, and lineups than just about anyone else. His son Vito, while currently on the straight and narrow, has had a fairly shady past and is indeed no stranger to illegal activity. They both have great hope for Adam, Vito's son and Jessie's grandson, who is bright, good-looking, and without a criminal past.
What's left behind the scenes
- Filming began on November 14, 1988, after three weeks of rehearsals in New York. Including a rather lengthy rehearsal period in the shooting schedule was standard practice for director Sidney Lumet (1924-2011), even from his earliest days in television.
- Vince Patrick, who wrote the screenplay based on his own novel (1985), came up with the general plot idea when, having recently become a grandfather, he noticed his own traits and mannerisms in his grandson.
