Mad Dog Coll is a 1961 American biographical film directed by Burt Balaban.[1]
Plot
The movie tells the story of Irish-American mob hitman, Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll Curran, who was born in 1908 in County Donegal, Ireland. Coll grew up in a very abusive home, and started his own street gang at a very young age, which led in turn to becoming a member of the mafia. He is a cruel and heartless individual who is never more happy than when he is recklessly shooting people with his tommy gun, or feuding with the fellow mobster Dutch Schultz over whisky hijacking.
