Citazioni
Mrs. Sante: Now I want to say goodbye to my son whenever I see again.
Joe Sante: Mom, you're talking crazy.
Mrs. Sante: Don't touch me.
Joe Sante: Mama, you're the only thing I have... You and Teresa are the only thing I have in the world.
Mrs. Sante: Don't ever come near me again.
Joe Sante: Mommy, you don't mean that.
Mrs. Sante: Yes, I mean it. I am so ashamed. I will go to my grave buried in your shame the way papa did. You did this to us, Joe. And we tried so hard to teach you when you very little. How we failed.
Joe Sante: No, mama, you haven't failed. I'll be fine. I'll be what you want me to be. You'll see. I promise you.
Mrs. Sante: Your promises mean nothing. In all your life there is somebody you have forgotten, Joe. And I have tried and tried to tell you.
Joe Sante: Who? Who have I forgotten?
Mrs. Sante: God.

A Historically significant film... maybe

I, MOBSTER may have some historical significance, of a sort. This may be the first film based on a paperback original. When I say "paperback original" I'm referring to the flood of two-bit (literally, they sold for a quarter) paperback books that were NOT reprints: these books, published by Dell, Gold Medal (Fawcett) Lion and others had a boom after World war II, taking over the newsstands, drug store racks, etc. and hastening the demise of the pulp magazines. Writers like Robert Bloch, Richard Matheson, Jim Thompson and Charles Williams got their start in the paperback originals, and established writers like David Goodis and Cornell Woolrich turned to them for quick money.

Many of these books have now been filmed by the likes of Truffaut (SHOOT THE PIANO PLAYER from Goodis' DOWN THERE) Cornfield (THE 3RD VOICE from Williams' ALL THE WAY) and others -- Jim Thompson most frequently --but as far as I can tell, Roger Corman's I, MOBSTER was the first, from an "anonymous" Gold Medal Original, I, MOBSTER, published in 1951.

Can anyone find an earlier?
