Short description

Jessie is an aging career criminal who has been in more jails, fights, schemes, and lineups than just about anyone else. His son Vito, while currently on the straight and narrow, has had a fairly shady past and is indeed no stranger to illegal activity. They both have great hope for Adam, Vito's son and Jessie's grandson, who is bright, good-looking, and without a criminal past.

Filming began on November 14, 1988, after three weeks of rehearsals in New York. Including a rather lengthy rehearsal period in the shooting schedule was standard practice for director Sidney Lumet (1924-2011), even from his earliest days in television.
