Description

The story of Henry Hill's rise and fall from life as a gangster is one of crude hierarchies, casual murders, and collaboration with law enforcement. In 1980, he made the decision to exchange his knowledge for a new identity, and this account was adapted for the screen by Martin Scorsese and Nicholas Pileggi. The film drew rave reviews upon its theatrical release in 1990 and was nominated for Oscars in both the Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay categories. This book offers an introduction by David Thompson, the noted film critic and co-editor of Scorsese on Scorsese. A gripping and unflinching look at life in New York City's criminal underworld, GoodFellas is a candid account from one who knew it all too well.
