Description
Chicagoland, 1950. Rudy Winston is “a good man to know.” Wanna meet some tough guys or showgirls or boxers? That’s who Rudy pals around with. Rudy could probably introduce ya to class types like Dorothy Lamour & even Al Capone’s brother. He knows the right people, know whad I mean? Barry Gifford’s father, a racketeer who ran an all-night liquor store in the 1950s, is memorialized in this unsentimental series of vignettes that capture the reckless glitz of mob-run Chicago. Gifford grew up in the midst of Rudy Winston’s world with its roster of lowlife characters, shadowy dealings, & high living. His child’s perspective on the streetwise standards of the day reveal a world of compelling emotion & sinewy American beauty.
