This movie tells the story of gangster Al Capone.The director of Capone (1975) is Steve Carver.The producer of the movie is Roger Corman.The role of Al Capone is played by Ben Gazzara.One week ago we sadly lost this terrific actor to cancer at the age of 81.He will be missed.Harry Guardino is brilliant as Johnny Torrio.Susan Blakely is a real foxy lady and he does a wonderful job as Iris Crawford.Sylvester Stallone is seen here before his Rocky success playing Frank Nitti, and he does a really great job.John Cassavetes is excellent as Frankie Yale.Dick Miller is marvelous as Joe Pryor.This movie has got a lot of good stuff.There's one terrific car chase scene.It's a heartbreaking scene where Iris is shot to death and Al mourns next to her dead body.And the fall of a big man in the end is really touching to watch.Sure this biographical movie tells a fictionalized story of Capone being inspired by the real events.But it's all OK, since the story is so well told.
