In Martin Scorsese’s classic crime film Goodfellas, we follow the exploits of small-time crook Henry Hill and his mob associates. I’ve made several videos on Goodfellas, and other crime films and shows such as The Godfather, The Irishman and The Sopranos, and will continue to do so, so feel free to check out the channel and subscribe if you like what you see.
Henry Hill is involved in scams, hijackings and drug dealing, and he is an associate of the Lucchese crime family and mobster Paul Vario, called Paul Cicero in the film. Hill is eventually arrested on narcotics charges and becomes an FBI informant, testifying against his former mafia associates, an event which resulted in 50 convictions, including those of Paulie and Jimmy, both of whom are depicted in the movie.
One of Hill’s mob associates is the volatile and unhinged gangster Tommy DeSimone, called Tommy DeVito in the film. Played by Joe Pesci, DeSimone was a mobster involved in the infamous 1978 Lufthansa heist from JFK International Airport, which was the largest robbery in US history at the time. The amount stolen is thought to be almost $6m.
As shown by Pesci’s Oscar winning performance, DeSimone was a ruthless psychopath. He is thought to have murdered in excess of at least 10 people, though the true body count is not known. Henry Hill has said that DeSimone would sometimes kill someone simply because he wanted to try out a new firearm and used other humans as target practice. An unpredictable mobster, DeSimone, along with Hill and Jimmy Burke, worked under mob capo Paul Vario.
It may interest you to learn then that there was one murder committed by Tommy DeSimone that he felt remorse for, or at the very least, was hesitant in doing. It may seem crazy that such a psychotic individual would have any qualms around murdering someone, but it apparently is the case.
