We’re just getting our feet wet (wingtips wet? brogues? Dapper haberdasher Mickey Cohen would know) with Gangster Squad. As a result, I’m diving into the original L.A. Times articles by Paul Lieberman upon which the movie’s based.
In case you’re a true crime/noir junky, or just love the period, there are loads of fascinating, specific only-in-LA anecdotes about what was nothing less than a local war, in fact, the Sunset Wars. So, if I may humbly offer links and some crib notes?
