Where does the beginning of the movie take place ?
The Irish mob family, the Rooneys, led by the Paul Newman patriarch John, controlled which Midwest city ?
I'm thinking it might be Cleveland, Youngstown or maybe Pittsburgh in the 1920s...only because it takes a day and a night to drive to Chicago to see Capone's man, Nitti.
Also, the outside shots of Michael Sullivan driving to Chicago shows flat farm land with square fields which looks very much like Ohio and Indiana.
Maybe it was Milwaukee...perhaps.
I think that any large crime family further east of Cleveland had little to do with Capone and would be more aligned with the New York and Boston territories.
Any ideas?
