Mean Streets Mean Streets (1973) is an early Martin Scorsese film starring Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro. Charlie (Keitel) is a man who is trying to move up in the local mob and who is hampered by his feeling of responsibility towards his childish yet destructive friend Johnny Boy (De Niro). Charlie works for his uncle (who is the local mob boss), mostly collecting debts. He is also having a hidden affair with Johnny Boy's cousin, Teresa (Amy Robinson), who has epilepsy and is ostracized because of her condition - especially by Charlie's uncle. Charlie had a very strict Catholic upbringing, and is probably too forgiving in general to get very far in the Mafia.
