This historical study explores the structure, myths and intertextual narratives found in the gangster films produced since \u003ci\u003eThe Godfather\u003c\/i\u003e. The intense relationship between masculinity and ethnicity in the gangster film, especially within the movie-generated mythology of the Mafia, is carefully analyzed, and the book tracks the trends in the genre up to and including the landmark HBO television series \u003ci\u003eThe Sopranos\u003c\/i\u003e (1999-2007).
