Mean Streets

Mean Streets (1973) is an early Martin Scorsese film starring Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro. Charlie (Keitel) is a man who is trying to move up in the crime world and who is hampered by his responsibility towards his childish friend Johnny Boy (De Niro). Charlie works for his uncle collecting debts and is in love with Johnny Boy's cousin, who has epilepsy; his uncle disapproves of his girlfriend explicitly because of her epilepsy. Charlie, who has a strict Catholic upbringing, is probably too forgiving in general to get far in the mafia.
