The Hustler trivia: Jake LaMotta

[pdcue]

Jake Lamotta,one time boxing champion, and subject of the film
"Raging Bull", is listed in the credits of "The Hustler" as 'bartender'

There are several bartenders in the film, I know he is not the victim
of the short con hustle in the opening sequence, that is Vince Gardinia.

I tried a few netsearches for contemporary photos, but everything
I found was either too old, or too recent, to compare to the film.

So, does anybody know just which bartender Jake portrayed?

thanks
Dale Pierce<who hopes it is the one from the bar with
pics of boxers on the wall>

I read somewhere that he worked in the bar where eddie ran into his girl again after they first met at the bus station.
