Film
The earliest recognized American gangster film, a 10-minute short from 1906, is The Black Hand, directed by Wallace McCutcheon and produced by American Mutoscopy & Biograph. Over the past 120 years, the Mafia has been portrayed in television, film, cable, and series. While we have our favorites, we’re always proud to see new portrayals (and mentions) of Meyer, more than 43 years after his passing.
