The untouchables robert stack dvd box set |
01 November 2005 |
| This show was based on the life of real treasury dept. gangbuster Eliot Ness, who had in fact played an important part in stopping the power of the notorious Al Capone in 1931 Chicago. The Ness autobiography served as the basis of a two-part semidocumentary dramatization of the Capone affair, presented on a 1959 Desilu Playhouse. It was a huge hit that turned into a regular series the next fall. It followed Ness and his small band of incorruptible agents (called the "Untouchables" by a Chicago newspaper) as they battled the worst people in organized crime. (Ness had in real life disbanded the Untouchables after cracking the Capone case, and had nothing to do with most of the cases dramatized on TV.) The Untouchables went after hoods like Bugs Moran, in whose garage the St. Valentine's Day Massacre took place. The estate of Al Capone sued the show for $1 million, not for inaccuracy, but for using the Capone name and likeness for profit. Some of the fine character actors who played gangsters on the show were: Bruce Gordon (Frank Nitti), Neville Brand (Al Capone), Nehemiah Persoff (Jake Guzik), William Bendix (Legenza), Lloyd Nolan (Bugs Moran) and Clu Gulager (Mad Dog Coll).
