bjfinste said:Ace Rothstein was named after that guy that fixed the 1919 world series, but his actual character in Casino is based on Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, and his association with the midwest organized crime groups that ran the Stardust in the 70's and early 80's before getting busted for skimming profits without having to pay taxes on them. I actually wrote a college term paper on this last year. It's good stuff.
If you notice, the Madjack Rothstein signs most of his posts "Ace Rothstein is a helluva handicapper", which is part of the first line after the opening credits in Casino, when DeNiro says... "Before I ever ran a casino or got myself blown up, Ace Rothstein was a helluva handicapper, I can tell you that..." It's good to see our "Ace" is proving that to be true!
