Boss of Bosses

Dwight H. Little's Boss of Bosses is a biopic of former crime boss Paul Castellano. Unlike many real-life and movie crime lords, Castellano (embodied by Chazz Palminteri) kept drugs out of his organization and strove to legitimize his empire. This film aired originally on TNT, making the language and violence much more toned down than one might expect. The movie would make an interesting double feature with Gotti, the biopic of the man who followed Castellano as the head of the Gambino crime family. Palminteri does a fine job with the complex role. His co-stars include Jay O. Sanders and former Murder One star Daniel Benzali.
