Paulie's solution: to enlist the help of safecracker Barney and steal $150,000 in cash. But during the robbery, a corrupt cop who's also out to steal the money happens upon the trio and is accidentally murdered. Charlie and Paulie now find themselves deep in hot water, especially since the money they've stolen belongs to Bedbug Eddie, a neighborhood gangster now seeking revenge on the petty thieves. [More]

Reviews for The Pope of Greenwich Village
A colorful, funny and very authentic slice of New York City street life. One of the most underrated, overlooked films of the 1980s.
A gangster story with an odd Horatio Alger point-of-view. It's nonsense, but it's nonsense with some unpredictability and a conman's easy style.
