Encyclopedic overview
Mean Streets is a 1973 American crime drama film directed by Martin Scorsese, from a screenplay co-written with Mardik Martin. It stars Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro, along with David Proval, Amy Robinson, Richard Romanus, and Cesare Danova. Scorsese's third feature film, it depicts a group of troubled young men in New York's Little Italy, and centers on many themes the director would later revisit, including the Mafia, Italian-American identity, urban life, and Catholic guilt.
Produced independently and released by Warner Bros. Pictures on October 2, 1973, Mean Streets received positive reviews from critics and marked Scorsese's arrival as a major figure of the New Hollywood movement. Robert De Niro won the National Society of Film Critics and the New York Film Critics Circle awards for Best Supporting Actor for his role as "Johnny Boy" Civello.
