Review

  • A highly fictionalized biopic of Al Capone. Seeing Ben Gazzara in this called to mind his role as the small-town crime boss in Roadhouse. He did truly chew the scenery in this one, but then I think you have to in order to play Capone, as his violence and psychopathy is well-known. Susan Blakely was lovely and did the gangster moll thing quite well. Overall, it's decent but not great.
