This is one of Stephen Fenech's favourite movies of all time, so when he realised Trevor Long hadn't seen it - well, it had to be covered on the show. It's a 1993 release, set in the sixties about a young boy in the bronx who's life and upbringing is torn between his hard working dad and a local gangster.
