The lead character of Night And The City was not a "a tough London gangster on the make". He was a pimp and a coward (spends most of novel running away, and is easily beaten up by a costermonger (market worker) in one scene). The De Niro movie transposes the setting to New York. Also, Kersh lived his final years in New York.

Any objection to making appropriate changes?
