1957 was a big year.
:00:32
The Russians put that Sputnik
into outer space.
:00:34
The Dodgers played their last game
at Ebbets Field...
:00:37
...and said goodbye to Brooklyn.
:00:39
That guy, he shot Frank Costello
in the head and missed.
:00:43
The Gallo brothers whacked
Albert Anastasia in that barbershop.
:00:47
It was total chaos.
:00:49
With Anastasia out, Vito Genovese
figures he's the big boss.
:00:53
But Carlo Gambino...
:00:54
...and Joe Bananas had other ideas.
:00:56
So they called a meeting.
:00:58
A big meeting.
:01:09
It was the first time the whole
Commission would meet face to face.
:01:13
Bosses and wiseguys were coming
from all over the country...
:01:16
...and all the
New York families too.
:01:18
Maybe 50 bosses,
the whole wiseguy world...
:01:21
...all coming to this
little town upstate.
:01:33
My father went with Dom Manetta
and Tommy D. Fat Tommy.
:01:37
He was running the family then.
:01:38
Some asshole thought it would be
a good idea to have this meeting...
:01:42
...at Joe Barbara 's farm,
up in the country, nice and quiet.
:01:46
Get away from the car.
:01:50
Want to be a fucking rib eye?
Get away from the car!
:01:55
Turns out the cops were
watching Joe Barbara like a hawk...
:01:58
...and some deputy sheriff notices
all the traffic and calls the feds.
