Sonny Franzese definitely deserves a movie!

[ortizmusic]

To see a movie about this man of men would be a hell of a treat, a honost real story about his life and mostly how he stayed disciplined and no nonsense,

[williemoreno]

Honor and loyalty. Never talked Never rat. Took it like a real man. ❤

[nagone]

Sonny Franzese a real true old time mafiosi who stuck to and lived by those old codes until the very end. When he passed on, that signaled the true end of the old American Cosa Nostra. Awesome work done here MFC..you never disappoint and your research with respect to history is always on point.

[mateocalderon]

Hands down one of the most legendary gangsters of all time. The colombos were lucky to have him.

[ravenleader]

A real stand up man. To see such discipline in an underboss is fascinating. I love hearing Michael's stories about his father. Would love to see a movie made about his life..!

[eddiemoloney]

He had a really healthy lifestyle no wonder he lived till 103 👑

[emotionless]

The dad of Michael Franzese is as much of a legend as his son says

[vmi]

The FBI was so terrified of him they had to frame him to get him. They could have framed and went after any heavyweight, they chose him. That says a lot. I can only imagine the stories, movies.. if he was out holding his rightful position-Boss of the family. It would have been legendary. Guys who get all the attention like Gotti couldn't hold his jockstrap!

[fireboigotti]

How there isn't a movie about this legend is beyond me....

[williemoreno]

In that life there is only a handful of guys like SONNY. RIP❤

[nightmoves]

He was 103 and Michael never testified against anyone. He never put anyone in jail.

[caseysmith]

My great grandfather was in prison with him in 74~1999 when my grandfather died. Tina and my grandmother (My great grandfathers oldest daughter Mary) were dear friends. They used to travel to the prison and split gas when they went to see them. Tina eventually lived with my grandmothers best friend Betty when she was sick and broke in her final years. She was a good looking women. Never met her but saw pictures when my grandmother was still alive.

[djsdesignsandcustoms]

He was the last one of his kind in the golden age of mob history . Sonny frenzies is a real deal and straight up boss/ OG

[chormeyourshotzz]

Now I know how he lived to be so old he was hella healthy

[anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu]

Wow Tina was beautiful to a lady of today, For the most part people have not only gotten older but aged better for instance I'm older then Carrol O'Connor was when he started playing Archie and He literally could be my father at my age and this is without plastic surgery but she was so Beautiful like a movie star from back then.

[ConnorHolbrook]

Really really good coverage. May he Rest In Peace

[godfather]
