Classic Film Series: The Movies of De Niro and Scorsese

In this edition, writer, musician and filmmaker Chris Wade looks at the collaborations of Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese, a partnership responsible for some of the finest films ever made. Beginning in 1973 with the gritty crime flick Mean Streets, the duo went on to make such masterpieces as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas and Casino. With their most recent picture, The Irishman, De Niro and Scorsese proved they are as formidable as ever before, perhaps the most important and influential actor-director team of all time. This book explores the nine feature films they have worked on together, a list that also includes The King of Comedy, New York, New York and Cape Fear. The book also includes Q and As with Gloria Norris, Scorsese's assistant on Raging Bull, and Harry Northup, who played ""Doughboy"" in Taxi Driver.
