Alan Geik: From Film Reels to Family Stories/Author of Uncle Charlie Killed Dutch Schultz

Send us a text

Recording from The Lemon Tree Café & Market in Las Vegas. We start with learning about how Alan got into the film business, living in London, getting a job at Wide World of Sports, and becoming an on-air host for 25 years.

Getting into his book: “Uncle Charlie Killed Dutch Schultz” starting with his father Lou and if he was connected to the mob? When did he know members of his family were mob related and learning who Waxey Gordon was?

Dutch Schultz was into numbers rackets, how they would use apartments as offices, and the greed for money was the demise for Dutch. Uncle Charlie killed Dutch Schultz at the Palace Chophouse and received a life sentence but who was involved with him being caught.

We talked about Murder Inc. with names such as Louis Lepke and Sammy Kass. Why was the murder of Irving Penn significant? The real-life story of Eliot Ness and how he was fictionalized in “The Untouchables”. Uncle George life in the mob and being connected to names such as Moe Dalitz, Meyer Lansky and The Cleveland Four Organization. Uncle George’s role in the LV Skim and was part of the criminal interest in the Desert Inn & Stardust.

A great mob story involving Tony Cornero which is a must listen, Alan being on the phone buying marijuana when the President of Israel interrupted with an emergency call, and the story of him having a pastrami sandwich with Meyer Lansky!
