Very Mean Men

A bartender (Modine) tries to get a thrifty drinker (Landau) to leave him a decent tip by spinning an elaborate tale of two warring mobster families fighting over the San Fernando Valley: the Minetti's (led by Gazzara) who own an Italian restaurant in the West valley and the Mulroney's (led by Durning) who own a pub in the East valley. The war breaks out when hothead Paulie Minetti (Baio) stiffs a waitress out of her tip at "Big Paddy's."
