MOB-#17 HED: the Untouchables (TV Series) DEK: Episodic MOB-#17 HED: The Untouchables (TV Series) DEK: Episodic adventures based off of Eliot Ness’ auto-biography of his crusade with “The Untouchables” against Al Capone and his criminal empire. By Jared DiMascio PULL QUOTE: “After seven months of legal delays, Al Capone, the most notorious product of the nation’s experiment with Prohibition, was on his way to federal prison to serve 11 years for income tax evasion” —Narrator PULL QUOTE: “The King of the hoodlums had left behind a vacant throne behind him, the next man to claim it would pay for the privilege in bullets and blood.” —Narrator [MOVIEBOX] Series Run: 119 Episodes, 4 Seasons (1959-1963) Starring: Robert Stack, Abel Fernandez, Nick Georgiade, Paul Picerni, Steve London, Bruce Gordon, Frank Dekova, Neville Brand and Walter Winchell Awards: Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series 1960 (Robert Stack) [BODY TEXT] They were the ultimate good guys, the original detective squad. Although the film of the same name has garnered much attention and praise in the mob genre, the classic television series—and the cast of Robert Stack and his men—will always be heralded as the first and the best “Untouchables.” A landmark series, The Untouchables was based off of Eliot Ness’ auto-biography and dealt with Ness’ entourage trying to dismantle Al Capone and his criminal empire in Chicago in the 1930s. While the two-part pilot depicts “the Untouchables’” efforts to send Capone to prison, the series picks up after that, as Frank Nitti and other criminals try to supplant themselves on the throne of the bootlegging empire, such as Jake “Greasy Thumb” Guzik and Joe “The Teacher” Kulak. The Chicago Way Beyond the screen, The Untouchables sparked a few controversies, first and foremost over the depiction of Italian-Americans and the negative stereotype of mobsters and gangsters. To combat this, ABC turned Ness’ right-hand-man, Enrico Rossi, an Italian- American who was originally a driver, into a full agent. Another controversy was that the show was considered far too violent for television, continually depicting horrific murders and other acts of violence on the show. It was one of the most violent television shows of the time and was deemed “not fit for the television screen” by the National Association for Better Radio and Television. Touching Other Generations The Untouchables was a hard-hitting, groundbreaking drama, drawing attention not only for its violence but for its unique approach to the television crime-drama variety. It was the first show to portray a group of crime fighters as the heroes, instead of the hero/sidekick combo or lone-wolf cop tropes that were so popular in the 1950s. For this (any many other reasons) the show has spurred many imitators, such as S.W.A.T, The FBI, and the original Hawaii 5-0, as well as the Brian De Palma 1987 movie (which inspired many films in itself); it even spawned a failed remake of the television series in 1997. In 1991, NBC produced a two-hour movie special in which Robert Stack revived his role as Ness to investigate the murder of one of “the Untouchables” agent. Landmark [INFOBOX] THE RUNDOWN Bad Guys: The Boss: Al Capone/Frank Nitti Main Players: The Capo: Jimmy Napoli The Associate: Jake Guzik The Bookkeeper: Joe Kulak Good Guys: “The Untouchables” Agent Eliot Ness Agent William Youngfellow Agent Enrico “Rico” Rossi Agent Jack Rossman Agent Paul Picerni Agent Lee Hobson [SIDEBAR 1] The Scarface Mob The pilot for The Untouchables was a two-part episode and was originally released as movie called The Scarface Mob, which dealt with Eliot Ness and his squad’s efforts to put Capone behind bars and end his bootlegging empire. Other segments that were turned into movies were “The Alcatraz Express” and “The Gun of Zangara.” When the series began later that year, the plotline continued where the pilot left off. There was a power struggle to take over the throne of Capone’s business, leaving Ness and the rest of “the Untouchables” to continue their police work. Robert Stack and Abel Fernandez were the only two “Untouchables” to not be recast for the series.

  • PUNKS! TOPICALITY and the 1950S GANGSTER BIO-PIC CYCLE
    cHAPTER 6 PUnKs! TOPIcALItY AnD tHe 1950s gANGSTER BIo-PIc cYcLe ------------------------------- PeteR stAnfield “This is a re-creation of an era. An era of jazz Jalopies Prohibition And Trigger-Happy Punks.” — Baby Face Nelson this essay examines a distinctive and coherent cycle of films, pro- duced in the late 1950s and early 1960s, which exploited the notoriety of Prohibition-era gangsters such as Baby Face Nelson, Al Capone, Bonnie Parker, Ma Barker, Mad Dog Coll, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, John Dillinger, and Legs Diamond. Despite the historical specificity of the gangsters portrayed in these “bio-pics,” the films each display a marked interest in relating their exploits to contemporary topical con- cerns. Not the least of these was a desire to exploit headline-grabbing, sensational stories of delinquent youth in the 1950s and to link these to equally sensational stories of punk hoodlums from 1920s and 1930s. In the following pages, some of the crossovers and overlaps between cycles of juvenile delinquency films and gangster bio-pics will be critically eval- uated. At the centre of analysis is the manner in which many of the films in the 1950s bio-pic gangster cycle present only a passing interest in pe- riod verisimilitude; producing a display of complex alignments between the historical and the contemporary. 185 peter stanfield DeLInQUENTS, gANGSTERs, AnD PUnKs In the 1950s, the representation of gangsters and of juvenile delinquents shared a common concern with explaining deviancy in terms of a rudi- mentary psychology,

  • Horror, Crime, and War: Some Comment on the Films of Brian De Palma, 1980-1989
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 31, núm. 1 (2021) · ISSN: 2014-668X Horror, Crime, and War: Some Comment on the Films of Brian De Palma, 1980-1989 ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract This review-essay revisits four films by Brian De Palma made between 1980 and 1989—Dressed to Kill, Scarface, The Untouchables, and Casualties of War—in an attempt to reconsider the most successful decade of De Palma’s career and at the same time to counter the received wisdom that he is somehow a “great” or “visionary” director. In fact, De Palma has built his career largely on the imitation of old movies, usually by Alfred Hitchcock, beginning with his very first film, Murder à la Mod (1968), and extending all the way through to Passion (2012). Keywords: Brian De Palma, Dressed to Kill, Scarface, The Untouchables, Casualties of War, American cinema. Resumen Este ensayo-retrospectiva revisita cuatro películas de Brian De Palma realizadas entre 1980 y 1989 —Dressed to Kill, Scarface, The Untouchables y Casualties of War— en un intento de valorar la década más exitosa de la carrera de De Palma en la que se deposita toda la sabiduría recibida del de alguna manera, uno de los grandes directores y un "visionario". De hecho, De Palma ha construido su carrera en gran parte sobre la imitación de películas clásicas, generalmente de Alfred Hitchcock, comenzando con su primera película, Murder à la Mod (1968), y extendiéndose hasta Passion (2012). Palabras clave: Brian De Palma, Dressed to Kill, Scarface, The Untouchables, Casualties of War, Cine norteamericano. Introduction I’d like to begin this review-essay with what, by now, sadly, is the received wisdom on Brian De Palma, from none other than Robin Wood: The conventional dismissal of Brian De Palma—that he is a mere “Hitchcock imitator”—[is] certainly unjust .

Melinda Levin, Graduate Coordinator Alan Albarran, Chair, Department of Radio, Television, Film C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Moellinger, Terry, There’s A Man With A Gun Over There: Cops And The Counterculture, Master of Science, December 2001, 304 pp., 2 tables, references, 236. By 1960, television advertisers recognized the economic potential of American youth, and producers were expected to develop programs to attract them, while still maintaining appeal for the older audience members. This task was to prove difficult as the decade wore on. While continuing to link the nation’s cold war concerns to the portrayal of good and evil, some shows, like 77 Sunset Strip, and The Mod Squad, explored alternative lifestyles, but still accepted American values. As the 1960s developed, crime programs continued to promote American hegemony but became increasingly more open to alternative reading strategies. This study examines the strategies developed to draw a youth audience to 1960s crime programs, while also supporting the dominant ideology of American society.
