    Vito Corleone.
    Played by Marlon Brando (may he rest in peace) who won an Oscar for “Best Actor” in 1973.
    My most favorite movie mob boss of all time.

Richard Attenborough in Brighton Rock, Movies didn't begin in 1970. And what about British films such as The Long Good Friday, Get Carter or Layer Cake.
