The Pope of Greenwich Village. 1984 · 2 hr 1 min. R. Drama · Crime. Two small-time thieves in New York's Little Italy make a big score but, when they realize they targeted the mob, they need to think fast before they get hit back harder.
In New York City's Little Italy, waiter Paulie (Eric Roberts) loses his job at Sal's Bar and Restaurant after being caught embezzling, and Paulie's older, more responsible cousin, maître-d Charlie Moran (Mickey Rourke), is also fired because he vouched for Paulie.
The aftermath of the robbery gets them into serious trouble with the local Mafia boss and the corrupt New York City police department. Charlie and his troublesome cousin Paulie decide to steal $150000 in order to back a "sure thing" race horse that Paulie has inside information on.
With its close attention to the Little Italy milieu and its farcical treatment of a safecracking, the picture is designed to turn Martin Scorsese's scathing Mean Streets into a sitcom.
