Over the years there have been many films which try to depict the horrible event of 'St. Valentines Day' which occured in Chicago, Illinois. However, Roger Corman was able to direct a very colorful picture of what actually happened with the gunning down of HOODS by so called policemen. Jason Robards,(Al Capone),"Max Dugan Returns",'83, was a great actor but his portrayal of Al Capone was not very convincing at ALL! George Segal,(Peter Gusenburg),"Direct Hit",'94 gave an outstanding performance as a mean, bad gangster who beat up Jean Hale,(Myrtle),"Psychomania",'64 when she purchased a very very expensive fur coat which Peter did not approve of at all. Myrtle and Peter beat each other up while Myrtle ran around in her 1930's underware, and she wound up in the hallway of their apartment. Bruce Dern,(May)"Wild Bill",'95 gave a great supporting role, looking slim and trim. If you are a George Segal fan, this is the film for you.
