Yes, a truly excellent book. I like the movie too, with
exception of the clumsily added scene featuring Richard
Anderson as the news correspondent and the annoy Sammy Cahn
lyrics for "The Ballad of Johnny Cool."
As for Little Caesar, I loved the book and how the
protagonist seemed totally oblivious to his declining
fortunes and that truly inspired closing line: "Mother of
God," he said, "is this the end of Rico?"
