Produced and directed by king of the B movies, Roger Corman. A factual telling of the events leading to and following the bloody St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago. Considered real violent when released in '67, but pretty tame by today's standards. Still a very good movie to watch. Of course this is minor league stuff compared to the likes of THE GODFATHER and GOODFELLAS.
This film is crammed full of stars and character actors. My only complaint is having Jason Robards playing Al Capone. To me he was not ruthless enough to play "Scarface". Other well known stars appearing are Ralph Meeker, Joseph Campanella, Harold Stone, Alex Rocco, George Segal and David Canary. Watch for small parts for Bruce Dern and Jack Nicholson.
