  7. I saw this movie several years ago, but I read the source novella some years before that. Spanish language, but I'm not sure of the source country. Mexico or some Central or South American country is my impression. A young woman lives her life under the domination of her grandmother, eventually being pimped out to men so the grandmother can live in comparative ease. I believe the source story is has a significent place in Spanish language lit. Can not remember the name of the piece or of any performer. Is this enough information for anyone to be able to help me with the title?

  18. Nine days and some 1,120 Views. It's something of an embarassment to be so far out of sync with the readership of this Forum... *The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight* hit the screens in 1971, a year before *The Godfather*, sourced from a novel by an Irish-descended writer named Jimmy Breslin. The film featured: ...Jerry Orbach (later to have a long run as a NYC Detective) as "Kid Sally" , Don wannabe. ...Robert De Niro (cast here instead of in *The Godfather* ) as the bicycle racer / con man / priest. ...Lionel Stander as the Don that Kid Sally wanted to replace, and who had his wife start his car every morining. ...Jo Van Fleet(!) as Big Mama, Kid Sally's mom, functioning as a female Don in her own right. ...Frenchman Herve Villechiaze as a dwarf named Beppo who was called Beppo The Dwarf. The subject matter and its treatment was resented by the friends of "Crazy Joe Gallo" as an insult to the memory of that late citizen. Novelist and screenwriters were subjected to some threats. I let this one get out of hand and and become a "Name The Movie"-type question. I won't let that happen again. But I will start a new "describe the scene" here: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A pre-teen girl is newly enrolled in a well-run girl's school. She has been on the run for her life through most of the film. Those who threatened her are now dead. Her protector has lost his life in her defense. In the final scene, she takes a potted plant that she has carried around with her while on the run, and plants in on the lawn of the school. Film?
