...serious hat is not a masquerade, not a goof and not an announcement that while a man may look like a middle-aged New York City account executive, he harbors a West Texan in his soul, the real interior galoot made manifest in the feathered Stetson that sits on the bar. The serious hat is the opposite of a disguise. It is a working piece of clothes and an adjunct of character...
Mean Streets--This is the film that made Martin Scorsese. A rough, startling, excellent glimpse of the lives of a couple of small-time Italian hoods in the Bronx. Robert de Niro sparkles as Johnny Boy, the idiotic, irresponsible galoot who drags his nominally smarter buddy, Harvey Keitel, into some big trouble.

And Norma Crane does some wonderful flobbing around the screen as the slavey and general grab bag at the local hash...
