King of the Roaring 20's

Based on the Leo Katcher book entitled "The Big Bankroll," this is the story of Arnold Rothstein, a ruthless gangster who literally owned New York during the 1920s. This version of his life deals with his rise to power and his disintegrating personal life. A genius with a lightning-quick mind and vast ambition, Rothstein was a fascinating man who took his love for gambling and parlayed it into an incredible empire. Rather shallow look at this complex man, but still entertaining.
