Like sharks to blood in the water, the mob arrived in Hollywood
greedy and ready to tear away huge chunks of cash. Opportunistic
mobsters saw labor unions as the means for muscling into the movie
industry and extorting millions of dollars from studio bosses.
Control the unions to which projectionists, art directors,
cinematographers, electricians, scene designers, stagehands, extras
belong, and you control the whole industry. Painting colorful
portraits of numerous mobsters, producers, actors, and directors,
Tinseltown Gangsters tells the gripping, fast-paced, true story of
corruption and greed in Hollywood throughout much of the twentieth
century.
