Mean Streets, Martin Scorsese 1973

(via fannyfern)

The title Mean Streets comes from a quote from Raymond Chandler “But down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid.”   Evidently, Scorsese sent the script to Corman who suggested using African American actors but director John Cassavetes had told him that he had “spent a year of his life making a piece of shit” for Corman on Boxcar Bertha.  -Rose Kuo, Film Society of Lincoln Center

Directing a Mean Streets mafioso (Cesare Danova) and Keitel: the movie is about “walking a tightrope of respect, not being a wiseguy…The shooting at the end was based on something I experienced. We could’ve been killed.” Conversations with Scorsese, Richard Schickel (via Hollywood Reporter).

To get his 1967 debut Who’s That Knocking at My Door distributed by an exploitation mogul, Scorsese had to add a nude scene shot in Amsterdam. “Harvey [Keitel]’s having a good time…I was probably the only one who wasn’t sexually liberated. I had to edit it in Amsterdam. And I put it in my raincoat and got it through customs.” Conversations with Scorsese, Richard Schickel (via Hollywood Reporter).
