Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It was well known that Tommy was a man with a "golden heart". He never wanted to be a gangster, but circumstances forced him to become one! What was his profession before he became a gangster?
2. Tommy became a prized weapon in the hands of his boss 'Don Salieri' -a man revered by his henchman and feared by his rivals. Who amongst the following is NOT a victim of Tommy's gun?
3. While Angelo was generally portrayed as a cruel man, people who knew him closely knew him as a person with a conscience. He was particularly kind to a member of Salieri, a person who had broken the 'Omerta'. This, in hindsight, was one of the biggest 'mistakes' committed by Tommy! Whose life did he spare?
4. Tommy was once Salieri's most trusted man. Salieri often assigned him some really tough missions; Tommy wasn't the one to waver. However, to kill one particular person, Tommy was unsuccessful for a long time. The first attempt at the Italian restaurant killed this person's henchman; the second attempt killed his mistress. Who was this 'Lucky' person?
5. In 1938, the first signs of discord arose amongst Salieri's men. Tommy and a good friend of his found that Salieri wasn't telling them everything (and also making them take great risks). The spark of discontent got lit the day Tommy was asked to steal cigars from a highly protected harbour. (To Tommy, stealing the cigars didn't justify the risks involved!). However, after the theft was done, Tommy decided to inspect the cigar boxes, which, to his surprise, contained not cigars but something else! What?
6. One of the crimes attributed to Tommy (and this was just a day before the bloody massacre at the Gallery) was a daring bank robbery. He was helped in his attempt by a friend of his (later at the trials, he told the Jury that his friend was the mastermind behind the robbery!). What was his friend's name?
7. Tommy was, more than anything else, a family man. He was deeply in love with his wife - who, incidentally, wasn't aware of his activities. He first met her at Salieri's Bar, where her father was working as a bartender. What was her name?
8. On that fateful day, Tommy was asked to come to the Gallery by a fellow gangster (a person Tommy trusted a lot!). However, on his arrival, he is informed that his best friend (the person who helped Tommy rob the bank) was killed by this fellow gangster. However, things didn't end there - his fellow gangster asked his cronies to finish Tommy off. What happened next is history! What was the name of this fellow gangster?
9. To protect his wife and child from the mobsters, Tommy decided to reveal everything to the police in the hope that Salieri and his men will be sent to the 'Chair'(or at least put behind bars). What was the name of the police officer who helped him in this?
10. How did Tommy die?
