Based on the book and true story of Tony 'Tony Nap' Napoli, who is the son of one of the most powerful and respected organized crime leaders of the modern era. Tony's father was Genovese Family Capo, James 'Jimmy Nap' Napoli, a mob kingpin who ruled over the largest gambling empire in America for almost 40 years. Told from Tony Napoli's autobiography is a bold recounting of the confidential world that he and his father inhabited. In the film, Tony's life as a boxer, army soldier, enforcer, casino boss, fugitive, hustler and offspring to one of the most powerful mobsters of the century is depicted. This story is not only about the dealings of the Napoli Empire, but also the cherished relationship Tony had with his father, his Don, along with his roller coaster account of family legend and organized crime, followed by his turnaround focus on sobriety and civic contribution.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
