A clip from my Blu-Ray extra on Hollywood character actor Lee J Cobb, who ended up in Italian cinema (specifically, the country's crime films) in the 1960s and 1970s. A lot of Cobb's American peers -- like Lionel Stander and Mickey Knox -- were also playing mob bosses in Italian movies after being blacklisted by the McCarthy committee (HUAC). But Cobb had cooperated with the committee, so what was his path to Italian crime movies?
