약력
Sheldon Allan Silverstein (September 25, 1930 – May 10, 1999) was an American writer, poet, cartoonist, songwriter, and playwright. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Silverstein briefly attended university before being drafted into the United States Army. Though perhaps best known for his children's books, Silverstein did not limit his audience to children. During his rise to prominence in the 1950s, his illustrations were published in various newspapers and magazines, notably the adult-oriented Playboy.

어느 날 지노(돈 아미치 분)의 구둣방에 두 남자가 찾아온다. 두 남자는 시카고 암흑가의 보스, 실버(릭키 제이 분)의 부하들 중 한 명이 연루되어있는 살인사건에 자수를 하여 감옥에 갔다오면 원하는 만큼의 돈을 주겠다고 제의한다. 지노는 이 제안을 승락하고 자수하기 전 3일을 조직원인 제리(조 맨테그나 분)와 함께 보내게 된다.
조직에서 늘 실수만 저지르는 제리는 지노의 사정을 불쌍하게 여기고 조직 몰래 3일 동안 라스베가스의 특급 호텔에서 놀자고 제의한다. 지노와 제리는 라스베가스의 특급호텔인 갤럭시 호텔에 묵는다. 제리는 지노를 시카고 암흑가의 거물로 위장시키고 이를 믿은 호텔의 지배인은 그들을 특별대우한다.
그러다 라스베가스의 보스 조셉 빈센트가 시카고의 보스인 그들을 초청하고 지노는 빈센트와 인간적으로 친해져 시실리아의 오래된 동전을 하나 증정을 한다. 그러자 빈센트는 전화를 걸 수 있는 동전과 전화번호를 적어주며 어려운 일이 있어 전화를 하면 어떤 일이든 도와주겠다고 약속한다.
어느 덧 3일이 지나 시카고로 돌아가는 차안에서 제리는 지노에게 도망가라고 하지만 약속은 꼭 지켜야 한다는 지노의 고집에 할 수 없이 돌아간다. 그러나 시카고 조직은 지노를 살해하여 자살로 위장하고 살인사건의 누명까지 씌우려는 음모를 꾸미고 지노를 살해하려 하나 제리의 노력으로 살아나게 된다.
이로 인해 조직을 배반한 제리도 조직의 추적을 받게 되고 지노는 빈센트와의 약속이 생각이 난다.
Story
Free to Be…You and Me, a project of the Ms. Foundation for Women, is a record album, and illustrated book first released in November 1972, featuring songs and stories from many current celebrities of the day (credited as "Marlo Thomas and Friends") such as Alan Alda, Rosey Grier, Cicely Tyson, Carol Channing, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross, among others. An ABC Afterschool Special using poetry, songs, and sketches, followed two years later in March 1974. The basic concept is to encourage a post-60's gender neutrality, while saluting values such as individuality, tolerance, and happiness with one's identity. A major thematic message is that anyone, whether a boy or a girl, can achieve anything.

A rare beatnik artifact of the early 1960s, one of only a few such films made before the hippies took over Hollywood. Low budget and in b&w, it's set in Greenwich Village, with what seems like a mostly improvised script. It begins as a late film noir crime tale involving a bank robbery where only one of a group of thieves escapes with his life, as well as $90,000 in loot. Injured and on the run, he hides in a local tour bus and is soon taken in by a group of bohemians who shoot him full of morphine to ease his pain and let him sleep it off on a mattress. Mason is the head beatnik. There's also the owner of both an upstairs coffeehouse and garret, where these beatniks hang out. They, in turn, bring the tourist trade in. Although the robbery is supposed to be the main focus of the plot, it quickly turns into more of a character study featuring these rebellious bon vivants and their odd lifestyle...
