The part about Sammy and Kim having a relationship is true. So is the reaction of Harry Cohn. However, Cohn couldn’t get the Outfit to do anything to Sammy. They didn’t care, plus Sammy made so much money in Outfit controlled clubs, they would never have ‘killed the golden goose’. That eye injury was from a car accident well before Sammy dated Kim. Think about it: do you really think a mostly Italian run group like the Outfit (all of the Mobs, not just the Mafia and such) cared if a Polish girl wanted to date a Black man? It’s also a fact that people like Sinatra, Martin and such protected Sammy, even making some people do things they wouldn’t…when the owners of the Sands wouldn’t allow Sammy to stay there, Sinatra told them, “Sam gets to stay here. Or I GO.” Sinatra and his buddies were the big draw at the Sands .. they even built Sam a bungalow of his own to stay in.
