4 instalments of £3.19 with clearpay Learn more
A violent, gripping and completely true inside story of the Mob.
Based on the Cosa Nostra confessional novel by Peter Maas, The Valachi papers had to be filmed in Italy for fear of American Mafia intrusion. However, for Charles Bronson, the film was a triumph, helping create his hard-as-nails image two years before Death Wish.
From low-level hood to violent gangster, Joseph Valachi had been in the Mob for over 30 years. After impressing Don Marazano with his take-no-prisoners style, Valachi found himself as a top hit man during a bloody mob war with Don Vito's family.
Finally arrested and sentenced to 15 years in prison, Valachi discovers Vito has put a $100,000 contract out on his life. His only way out is to break the famous code of silence and rat on his former employers. Valachi's story is explosive and goes to the very heart of the Mob's operation, as he details the malice, extortion, vengeance and murder that fuel the Cosa Nostra.
