Factual error: When Sam and Ginger are in the restaurant after Ginger and Leicester attempt to kidnap their daughter, Sam rails to Ginger that Leicester couldn't possibly be fitted for 25 suits in three days. The fact is, you only get fitted once and then you pick out the fabric for all the suits you want to buy, so he couldn't have taken delivery of 25 suits, but he could have easily been fitted.

Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Robert De Niro, James Woods, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci, Kevin Pollak, Don Rickles
Nicky Santoro: How the fuck can you grin?
Trivia: The sex scene between Joe Pesci and Sharon Stone was voted the worst movies sex scene of all time in an on-line poll.
Question: Why would Sam's life be threatened by the Mafia bosses if they find out that Ginger and Nicky are having an affair? I know it's mentioned that they hold marriage in high regard but isn't Sam the victim of being cheated on by his wife and betrayed by his friend? I can only come to the conclusion that they wouldn't approve of a man letting his wife sleep around but still, that seems presumptuous and excessive even for the mob. (02:22:10)
Answer: It's also possible that the "bosses" would be concerned that a rift between Nicky and Sam could bring public (police) attention to the criminal activities going on behind the scenes. These are, after all, two very egotistical individuals.
Answer: Concern about their affair probably has nothing to do with "mob morality" but with the possible complications and unwanted attention that Nick and Ginger, who is a volatile and unpredictable alcoholic and drug addict, could cause for the casino operators, who are being investigated by the F.B.I.
Answer: He wasn't threatened by the bosses. Nicky was the one who tried to kill him.
