Anastasia's violent ways could be contained as long as Luciano and Frank Costello pulled the strings, but certain mobsters, most notably Vito Genovese, doubted whether it was really possible to keep Anastasia reined in.

After Joe Bonanno was forced into retirement by The Commission, Vito Genovese died of a heart attack, and Tommy Lucchese died of a brain tumor, Gambino's status and power on The Commission was elevated almost immediately.

After the imprisonment of Vito " Don Vito " Genovese in 1959, Thomas " Tommy Ryan " Eboli was made acting boss and kept his position toward 1969, when Genovese died in jail.

In early 1973, Gambino's nephew Emmanuel " Manny " Gambino was kidnapped by Thomas Genovese ( a distant relative of Vito Genovese ), James McBratney, " Crazy " Eddie Maloney, Warren " Chief " Schurman and Richie Chaisson.

For being the Mafia hegemon in the era of landmark mobsters like Albert Anastasia, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, Tommy Lucchese, Carlo Gambino, and Vito Genovese, all of whom he led, Luciano is considered by many to have been the most powerful American Mafia boss of all time.

However, Maranzano's scheming, his arrogant treatment of his subordinates, and his fondness for comparing his organization to the Roman Empire ( he attempted to model the organization after Caesar's military chain of command ) did not sit well with Luciano and his ambitious friends, like Vito Genovese, Frank Costello and others.

" Along with Italian-American associates Vito Genovese and Tommy " Three-Finger Brown " Lucchese and Jewish associates Meyer Lansky and Benjamin " Bugsy " Siegel, the gang became involved in robbery, theft, extortion, gambling and narcotics.

By 1956, however, Costello, who was convicted of tax evasion in 1954 and was now controlling the Luciano family from prison, was engaged in a major power struggle with fellow associate Vito Genovese and his grip on power greatly weakened.

At that time, Gambino was Anastasia's new underboss and Vito Genovese was the underboss for Costello.

These mobsters included future Cosa Nostra powers Charlie " Lucky " Luciano, Frank Costello, Frankie Yale, Joseph " Joey A " Adonis, Vito Genovese, Albert Anastasia and Carlo Gambino.

As head of the new Luciano family, Luciano appointed Vito Genovese as his underboss, or second in command, and Frank Costello as his Consigliere, or advisor.

Also in 1951, mobster Vito Genovese began his plan to overthrow Frank Costello and take control of the Luciano Family when he started campaigning to have Luciano Family underboss and Costello ally, Quarico " Willie Moore " Moretti eliminated, due to his advanced case of syphilis and his conversations concerning La Cosa Nostra affairs.

While the roles of Vito ( played by Markus Riexinger ) and Jimmy's girlfriend Kate ( Katrin Stephan ) were taken from the original play as they are, Jimmy Zoole was turned into a woman: Jenny Zola ( Jasmin Steck ), turning the relationship with Kate into a lesbian one.
