The real-life model for the film's Johnny Friendly character (played by Lee J. Cobb) was International Longshoremen's Association boss Michael Clemente (Johnny Friendly also has aspects of former Murder Inc. head Albert Anastasia, who was a top enforcer for the crime family that ran the Hoboken docks, the Lucky Luciano--later Vito Genovese--family). In 1979 Clemente and other members of the Genovese family were indicted for corruption and racketeering on the New York waterfront.
