The Untouchables (1987)	comment	The Untouchables is a 1987 gangster movie directed by Brian De Palma and written by David Mamet. It stars Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro, Andy GarcÃa, and Patricia Clarkson in her screen debut. Connery won an Academy Award for his interpretation.Based on the exploits of (Real Life) 1920s Chicago Prohibition agent Eliot Ness and his group of loyal agents, nicknamed "The Untouchables" because of their refusal to be bribed by the Mob as many others were at the time. This team was most notable for pursuing bootleggers and gangster Al Capone (and eventually arresting him—on tax evasion charges).The movie was theoretically The Film of the Series of the 1960s TV series, but Mamet ended up largely ignoring the TV series, going back to the original sources and crafting his own version of the story.

The Untouchables (1987) / int_10134c97	type	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety
The Untouchables (1987) / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: Ness kills the first mobster in the Union Station gunfight with a shotgun...that he fires at arm's length, not braced against the shoulder, one-handed. That's a great way to break your shoulder or face with the recoil, or at the very least have your shot be wildly inaccurate. As a real-life illustration of the above, surviving Columbine massacre witnesses say that Dylan Klebold shot that way (one handed with a shotgun, arm extended) in the library shootout: the recoil made the shotgun fly back into his face, breaking his nose. After running into his daughter's room to make sure she's safe, he hugs her and picks her up—with the gun still in his hand.

This is Truth in Television, as the historical Capone really did use men dressed as cops to commit the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, although he never really killed any of the Untouchables.

Unfortunately for him, he forgets to dispose of it after the hit. When he is accosted by Eliot Ness, the federal agent appropriates Nitti's matchbook to light his cigarette with. Ness sees the address, and putting two and two together, chases Nitti and ends up pushing him off a roof into a car. Nitti also can't leave well enough alone! Ness pulls him up to the roof after considering shooting him when he's hanging by a rope but then Nitti starts gloating about killing Malone, saying that he "died screaming like a stuck Irish pig" which is what finally makes Ness throw him off the roof to his Disney Villain Death.

Wallace sneaks a mouthful of whiskey from a shot-up barrel after the Canadian border raid. Shortly before being gunned down Malone takes a drink from a bottle hidden in his apartment. Unlike the funny way Wallace snuck the quick drink this is much more dire and seems to be a last drink of a man who knows his days are numbered.

The Untouchables (1987) / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: There are quite a lot of liberties with the depiction of Capone's trial: When they discover the jury has been bribed, they switch Capone's jury with the jury next door. Something like this really happened, but not the way it's depicted in the film. What actually happened was that the jury was switched much earlier in the trial, and it wasn't specifically the jury that was changed, but the pool of potential jurors both sides could select or veto that was switched; switching it when they did in the film, even if it had been allowed, would have meant that the new jury was handicapped by having missed the presentation of key evidence. Capone's lawyer attempting to enter a plea without his client's consent is not based on reality, and, in real life, is a good way to have a mistrial, an overturned conviction, and disbarment for the attorney. The Mounties would never get involved in a bootlegging raid, seeing as alcohol was legal in Canada during Prohibition.

He forces the judge to conduct a fair trial by threatening to reveal evidence, proving that the judge took bribes. The threat works because they have Al Capone's ledger. We quickly find out that it was all a (successful) bluff, as the DA quietly notes to Ness that the judge's name isn't actually in the ledger....

His later life, in reality, was marked by business failures, alcoholism, an unsuccessful political career and a rocky personal life (he was married three times). Much of the legend around Ness, including the book which inspired the television series, was a conscious effort by Ness to rehabilitate his reputation near the end of his life.

But two of the Untouchables are dead, and Ness had to violate a lot of his personal code of honor — including his tossing Nitti off a roof in revenge for Malone's death — to get Capone. The film also ends with the repeal of prohibition, which was one of the driving forces behind organized crime during the period in the first place, though Ness takes it in stride saying he'll go have a drink. And while uplifting in context, the last line carries with it a bit of tragic irony, though, as in real life, Ness died an alcoholic.

And on that subject, Ness had nothing to do with Capone's fall due to tax evasion. The man who led the tax evasion investigation was IRS agent Frank J. Wilson (whom Oscar Wallace bears resemblance to), and helped by an undercover agent named Mike Malone, who got himself into Capone's inner circle and access to Capone's ledger. Ness' job was rooting out corruption within the Chicago Police. Frank Nitti wasn't thrown off a roof. He and Capone were both sent to prison on tax evasion charges, but Nitti got a much lighter sentence and took charge of the Chicago organization (at least in name) after his release. Nitti committed suicide in 1943 rather than face the possibility of another prison sentence. The judge at Capone's trial switched the pool of eligible jurors prior to the trial with that of an unrelated case, allowing both prosecution and defense to conduct proper juror selection, not the whole jury mid-trial. Additionally, Capone was found guilty by the jury, which he calmly accepted, his lawyer did not enter a guilty plea against his wishes and Capone did not punch him (Capone was very much a Villain with Good Publicity, and physically striking his attorney would ruin that).

Ness's self-promotion at the time helped popularize the impression that Ness was responsible. The real Frank Nitti preferred not to get his hands dirty, and generally left the violence to his subordinates.

The Untouchables (1987) / int_8391b1c7	comment	Artistic License â€“ Law: A defense attorney cannot change his client's plea without said client's permission, and he certainly shouldn't be doing that in public view. Similarly, while a judge could certainly dismiss an entire jury if he or she felt it had been corrupted, they could not trade that jury for a different one from another case. The jury selection process (known in legalese as voire dire) is designed to ensure, among other things, that the prospective jurors have no ties to either the prosecution or the defendant. Bringing in a jury the defense attorneys hadn't had a chance to examine would guarantee any conviction would be thrown out on appeal. In addition, no prosecutor would agree to such a thing: what if one or more of the new jurors were friends or business associates of the defendant (which is exactly what voire dire is meant to prevent)? The RCMP would not conduct a bootlegging raid. Most provinces had repealed prohibition laws throughout the 1920s (it was not a sweeping federal law like in the United States), with Prince Edward Island being a holdout until 1948, and was a well and truly dead issue by 1930. The RCMP were also famously reluctant to enforce prohibition laws after experiences as the North-West Mounted Police in frontier days, which contributed to the formation of forces such as the Alberta Provincial Police (the First World War was the primary factor).

But not only did Al Capone really do this... he attacked three associates during a dinner party this way. At the same time! Capone didn't kill them outright, though; he beat them senseless and then had his bodyguards finish them off with bullets. The Chicago police department seems outrageously corrupt for dramatic purposes. But this is more or less what The Feds had to deal with. The Mafia and the local police often were public rivals, but secret partners. As long as the mob kept the violence low and kept to the shadows, they allowed them to bootleg and operate. For a cut, of course. (In addition, Prohibition was basically unenforceable which led to the 21st Amendment.)

The henchman, believing he'd witnessed an actual execution, is very cooperative afterwards. After killing Wallace and George, Nitti writes "TOUCHABLE" on the elevator wall with their blood, leaves George's body lying in the corner, and hangs Wallace's body from the ceiling.

After leading a raid on Capone's gang on the Canadian border, Ness has captured one of the gang's coders and is interrogating him in a nearby cabin. The man refuses to talk, so Malone walks outside and pulls another member of the gang to his feet against the window. Exclaiming he's fed up with the easy way, Malone sticks his gun in the man's mouth, and demands information by counting down from three. When met with no response, he blows the gangster's brains out into the room. This scares the captured man enough to spill everything. Unbeknownst to said coder, the other gangster was already a corpse (he was shot by Ness in the earlier firefight).

The movie's Capone had no problem killing kids, while the real Capone tried to avoid any bystander injuries in gun battles, and paid their hospital bills for them if they were hurt. Despite his nickname, Frank Nitti was Capone's number two rather than an enforcer, managing the outfit's organization and financial dealings. The movie's Nitti can be viewed as a Composite Character of various Capone henchmen, including "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn and Fred "Killer" Burke, both of whom were suspected of masterminding the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

The Untouchables (1987) / int_e4b69188	comment	Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Ness and his Untouchables really existed. Capone really did get busted on tax evasion. The baseball bat scene and the jury switch are based on real events. On the other hand, quite a lot of the story is just plain made up. The depiction of Ness owes more to dramatic effect than historical accuracy, and the other Untouchables — Jimmy Malone, George Stone and Oliver Wallace — are entirely fictional. In real life there were 11 "Untouchables" not counting Ness, and they all lived to see the end of Prohibition. Ness did not kill Frank Nitti, who in real life took the reins of the Chicago Outfit after Capone went to prison, successfully diversified the Outfit's interests to keep it going after Prohibition ended, and lived until 1943, when he committed suicide. The tax evasion case was based on information collected by Frank J. Wilson, from the Treasury Department's Bureau of Internal Revenue, with the help from a Capone accountant named Edward J. O'Harenote Father of the World War II pilot "Butch" O'Hare, after whom O'Hare International Airport is named for; the credit for bringing down Capone belongs to him, not Eliot Ness. Capone and Ness never met face-to-face before 1932. Of note is that Jimmy Malone is named after Mike Malone, an agent that infiltrated Capone's organization and then served as a witness in the trial. He died of natural causes in 1960.

Malone calls the knife man a "dago bastard" while chasing him out out of his apartment. Unfortunately for Malone, this turns out to be a setup: Nitti guns him down at the doorway immediately after that.

The Untouchables (1987) / int_f10d3363	type	Distracted by the Sexy
The Untouchables (1987) / int_f10d3363	comment	Distracted by the Sexy: Right before Oscar and the witness get in the elevator, an attractive woman walks out and gives everyone a flirtatious grin, meaning nobody bothers to look at the elevator "cop" who turns out to be Frank Nitti, there to execute both of them. Note that the camera follows this particular lady down the hall, who was suspiciously looking at the elevator as it left then goes and stands next to the DA, indicating that she's likely an employee of Capone.
