CRIME INC - THE TRUE STORY OF THE MAFIA
Synopsis
The real story behind the Mob with interviews with former mafia boss Jimmy The Weasel Fratianno, archive home movies and FBI surveillance footage.
From the Back Cover
With archive film including home movies and FBI surveillance material the award-winning Crime Inc. tell the true story behind the worlds most powerful crime syndicate, The Mob, La Cosa Nostra or The Mafia.
Interviews with mob members turned informants, including former boss Jimmy The Weasal Fratianno, reveal the inner workings of The Mafia, from the ritual of becoming a made man and their code of honour, to the harrowing and detailed descriptions of their work, accompanies by equally graphic images and film footage.
Crime Inc. dared to get close to the heart of The Family and the result is frightening and compelling. Forget what youve seen in the movies. The fact is more shocking than the fiction.

Amazon.co.uk Review
Crime Inc. is a documentary series about the Mafia, produced in the mid-1980s by Thames Television. Its fascinating to observe how the intervening years have led the issuing company of this complete release of all seven episodes down the road of the cheapest and nastiest sensationalism: "MEET THE REAL GOODFELLAS" yells the front cover of the two-disc set at its presumably dumbed-down target market, while the back cover shows a string of silly press quotes. The irony is that, for anyone interested in the history of organised crime or in any aspect of the dark undercurrents which pervade American and European society, such lowbrow tactics are completely unnecessary. For Crime Inc. is a good, solid, properly budgeted and carefully researched series, dating from when such things were what viewers could expect as a matter of course.
Much of the fascination of the series stems from the fact that the producers have used as much primary source material as possible, including original archive footage and interviews (many presumably conducted in jail) with defectors from the cause. The most startling revelation, oddly enough, has nothing to do with the secrecy, extortion and torture employed by the organisation--after all, there are plenty of legitimised governments throughout the world who routinely use the same tactics--rather, its the statement, made very early on, that until informants started going public US police forces would simply deny the fact that the Mafia even existed. Remarkable stuff.
On the DVD: Crime Inc. has no extra features, but with six hours of running time this is hardly cause for complaint. It is presented in standard 4:3 ratio. --Roger Thomas
