The truly awesome story about the Mob and Carmen Basilio..

It's long but really worth watching, especially if you would like to learn more about Carmen..

Part 3 around the 10:35 mark actually shows some old video from Alexandria Bay at the building where Carmen used to train. It's very cool. I took a couple screenshots seen below..

Hi,
I was a consultant on this film, and was interviewed. Any way I can get a whole copy. Never got one from ESPN. Would love it. Basilio is one of the most beautiful guys in the world.

I am going to make a guess that the two young boys in the top photo would be Fred and Ed Thune? Anyone know for sure?
