Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe real Al Capone died of advanced syphilis which had become neurosyphilis. Due to the production code in effect at the time, the narrator (James Gregory) attributes Capone's death to an "incurable disease".
- GoofsThe voice-over narration describing the start of Prohibition states "Now that it was illegal, the public got even thirstier." In actual fact, alcohol consumption decreased substantially, especially early on, and although it recovered somewhat, it did not reach its pre-prohibition level.
- Quotes
Al Capone: Nobody leaves Al Capone, you understand that?
Maureen Flannery: Well I do!
Al Capone: Oh no, you don't!
Maureen Flannery: Would you do me a favor please? Would you kill me?

A Great Movie!! The best "Al Capone" I've ever seen!!
This movie is the best presentation of "Al Capone" that I've ever seen. The movie is presented in a "Doccumentary" format which kept me "rivited" to the screen. This cast is an "All Star Cast" to say the least. Rod Steiger did an excellant job playing the character of "Al Capone" and as far as I'm concerned, has set the "standard" for other Actors to follow on how to play that particular character. I've seen the character of "Al Capone" played by Robert Di Nero, Jason Robards, Neville Brand, & Al Pacino, but NOBODY played him like Rod Steiger!!!
Also, when you have supporting cast members like Fay Spain, Martin Balsam & Neamiah Persoff, the production in my opinion can't help but be a hit. The way this Movie was put together gives it the ability to be relevant in just about any era. Even though it was filmed in 1959, it didn't show any signs of being "outdated" or "out of touch" in any way.
Once again, a great movie with some great acting in it. I would highly reccomend this movie to anyone.
