Untouchables - Season 1 (DVD)

Thirty years before they hit the big screen via Brian DePalma`s brilliant movie adaptation, Eliot Ness`s legendary exploits came to life in the classic 1950s and `60s television series THE UNTOUCHABLES. Created by veteran crime-drama producer Quinn Martin, the series followed Ness (Robert Stack) and his team of crack crimefighters--including agents Martin Flaherty (Jerry Paris), Jack Rossman (Steve London), Enrico Rossi (Nicholas Georgiade), and William Youngellow (Abel Fernandez)--as they took on the Mafia underworld of gangsters Al Capone (Neville Brand) and Frank Nitti (Bruce Gordon) in Prohibition-era Chicago. Smart and iconic, the series distinguished itself with superb voiceover narration from broadcaster Walter Winchell and a gritty style that nonetheless eschewed graphic depictions of gore and violence. This collection presents the vintage series` debut season in its entirety. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
