The night hours turn Frank Fontana on. So does bad company, like the well-heeled, well-armed gangsters who regularly convoy their bosses to Fontana's supper club just across the river in Queens to play craps. Sometimes, however, it doesn't pay to win, when the sore loser is a neurotic loan shark with a possessive attitude about his money. Or a mob boss with an attitude about you.
