Quotes
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.

Nothing amazing but a good, competent gangster pic.

"I Mobster" was directed and co-produced by Roger Corman. This means that the production was done very economically and it made money...and would probably be very entertaining!

Steve Cochran plays Joe Sante, a thug who's worked his way up from a kid running numbers to a leader of the mob. The film shows his life from start to finish and shows both the good (just a bit) and the bad (there's a whole lotta bad). The acting, direction and script are all very good...though nothing so outstanding that it will leave a long and lasting impression. Just a decent gangster film.
