It was Martin Scorsese’s first feature and starred a very young cast of guys like DeNiro and Harvey Keitel. It was released in 1973 and is a fantastic period piece about down and dirty New York City in the early ’70s. Here’s the original theatrical trailer. I wondered how old they were in the flick and the internet didn’t disappoint: ‘How Old Were the Actors?‘ is a website detailing how old each actor was when making a movie, how old they are now and whether or not they’re alive. (Spoiler: Scorcese was 31, DeNiro 30 and Keitel was the old dude at 34.) |
