Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe real Al Capone died of advanced syphilis which had become neurosyphilis. Due to the production code in effect at the time, the narrator (James Gregory) attributes Capone's death to an "incurable disease".
- GoofsThe voice-over narration describing the start of Prohibition states "Now that it was illegal, the public got even thirstier." In actual fact, alcohol consumption decreased substantially, especially early on, and although it recovered somewhat, it did not reach its pre-prohibition level.

Maureen Flannery: Well I do!
Al Capone: Oh no, you don't!

Featured review
I loved this black and white movie. It stared Rod Steiger who comes across like Mr. Tony Soprano actually. It was told in the tradition of a biography. Capone was so violent yet a great businessman. This movie is borderline FILM NOIR. Mr. Capone, in the movie, starts out as a simple bouncer and them works his way up to the bossman of the Chicago Syndicate. He eventually was convicted on INCOME TAX evasion and sentenced to 11 years at THE ROCK. The movie even takes us into THE ROCK where it shows Capone and how he loses his power. What makes this movie really great is simply ROD's portrayal of Scarface. He plays it very very well. If I had to choose ANY GANGSTER movie from that subject matter, this is it.
