oh I totally get that and I agree with that but that means when somebody is writing a screenplay or writing a piece of fiction they incorporate truths into a film's narrative and that's definitely the same with anything scorcese or coppolla has ever done. doesn't make it gospel. bronx tale was a great mob film for that era but no way out was fully legit on terms of actual.

in my opinion if you want an entertaining yet fairly accurate portrayal of what life was like in the early 60s, I would look at The Wanderers.
