Martin Scorsese's film Casino was based on many 20th century underworld figures who fought for power and turf in Las Vegas and Chicago. This film looks at the lives of a few of the actual mob figures who inspired that film. Tony Spilotro, Alan Dorfman, and Frank Rosenthal all lived the types of lives depicted in Casino. This video portrait suggests that actors Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci provided hauntingly accurate portrayals of mob activities. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi
