The Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight

Notable for a rare comic turn from Robert De Niro, this goofy gangster flick centers on a band of hapless goodfellas who hatch a plan to grab some mob action. Too bad they’re idiots! Jerry Orbach plays Kid Sally, the leader of the goons. Leigh Taylor-Young co-stars as Kid’s sister, who falls for De Niro, an Italian cycling team member who’s strayed off course. Jimmy Breslin penned the novel on which the film is based.
