				Plot Summary: This 
				story is about a young boy, Calogero, raised alone by his hard-working father, Lorenzo, 
				a bus driver. On the streets, the boy becomes enamored with 
				Sonny, a local mobster, who takes the kid under his wing. His 
				father is 
				not pleased. Things get dicey as the young man feel allegiance 
				to both 
				his father and Sonny. To make things worse, Calogero has falled 
				for a young black girl - 
				which doesn't go over well with the Italians. Dad's Preview: 
				Chazz Palminteri, who stars as Sonny, wrote the one-man play 
				that inspired this film. Robert De Niro saw the play and 
				was determined to make it into a film. He acquired the 
				rights, and Palminteri wrote the screenplay. This is a superb 
				father/son movie with a lot of mob influence thrown in.
