- Summary:
- Skinny D'Amato avoided the public eye, though he was an important person in the history of Atlantic City, where his nightclub served as the ultimate back room for the players of entertainment, politics, sports, and the mob. "The Last Good Time" is a classic portrait of the whiskey-soaked dark side of America's sunny mid-century popular culture. 8 page photo insert.
