The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight

(1971)Directed by James Goldstone96 minComedy, Crime
“The hilarious comedy about dis-Organized Crime.”

A Brooklyn crew keeps announcing plans to wipe out its rivals, and somehow none of them ever land. Kid Sally (Jerry Orbach) leads the gang through the neighborhood, with Big Momma (Jo Van Fleet) and Baccala (Lionel Stander) close behind, and James Goldstone, working from Waldo Salt's script, treats the whole business as a deadpan job of work. Every botched attempt gives the other families another reason to want the gang gone for good.
