Young Marty, mature Scorsese. The dreamy boy has put his nightmares and memories on film. Those old friends swaggering past Umbertos Clam House have been alchemized into tragicomic De Niros. And -- let's have a happy ending for one Scorsese picture -- the little lad from the mean streets has scaled the heights. Not just to a luxe Manhattan aerie but into the realm where almost no contemporary filmmaker can touch him. Made it, Ma, top of the world.
