Not really, but for Harry so many things are going wrong in so many different ways that life itself seems like a conspiracy aimed at him. Maybe everybody else got up earlier than he did today to attend a meeting on how they were all going to screw him. Even more ominously, the mob seems ready to turn over his numbers business to a black man. Harry regards these development with sad, tired eyes with large bags beneath them. He rarely smiles.
Life is amazing.
He even has another daughter, he discovers, that he knew nothing about. Now events begin to overtake Harry. His ex-wife is part of a respectable circle that includes an executive for the Heart Fund. Certainly he seems uncomfortable with the mob, where he is such small potatoes that when he testifies before a congressional crime commission, the members lose interest when they realize he knows almost nothing. It's a film that makes its points through its observation of human nature, especially in such scenes as a charity benefit on a subway train, and a wedding.
