It became a major motion picture that provided Robert DeNiro with his first film role. Its title has entered into the language as a catch phrase. And it's terrific fun!The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight is the story of Papa Baccala, a Brooklyn Mafia boss, and Kid Sally Palumbo, a would-be capo who \"couldn't run a gas station at a profit even if he stole the customers' cars\". There's also Kid Sally's grandmother, who will go to extravagant lengths to see her boy make his mark. A love interest? Sure. Kid Sally's sister tumbles for an artistic type who rides a bicycle and has recently arrived from Calabria...The high adventure begins with a six-day bike race that is only partly responsible for a rash of obituary notices reading: \"Died. Suddenly\". Eventually it all gets worked out in fine Sicilian fashion -- and, in the end, everybody gets his, in a manner of speaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525135696160,"sku":"NEW0316111740","price":13.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61jd-Ja3O_L_361e823d-434e-4234-b412-abc471678d3e.jpg?v=1777141688","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-gang-that-couldnt-shoot-straight-a-novel-0316111740","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
