In the early 1960s, Sergio Leone's brother-in-law Fulvio Morsella read an Italian translation of Harry Grey's book, "The Hoods", to him. The book claimed to be "an autobiographical account" of the life of a Jewish gangster in New York City's Lower East Side, and written by Grey while he was incarcerated in Sing Sing prison. Leone was very taken with the book, and it served as his major inspiration in making a gangster film that would capture the spirit of America.
