I think I mentioned that I watched THE EDDIE CANTOR STORY last week.
The best part of it was the songs that Cantor recorded himself.
After watching the picture, I did a little research, and learned that the "Rocky Kramer" character in the movie (Gerald Mohr), Eddie's childhood friend who grows up to be a mobster and, subsequently, dies in the electric chair, was inspired by Louis Lepke, founder of Murder, Inc.
