Lefty and Her Gangsters

The incomparable Lefty--a redheaded, left-handed, cross-eyed, married and very sexy woman--reduces her Italian-American lover, Nicholas, to that of a sex slave, her own private Button Man--propelling him back to the neighborhood don, Johnny, for counsel and wisdom. Lefty is also their muse and their salvation, humanizing both the Italian poet and the Italian gangster, and even transforms them to the godfather of the future, the unforgettable Don Pippo--reformed, wise, gentle.
