Steiger is simply amazing...
This 1959 factual biography of gang lord Al Capone follows his rise and fall in Chicago gangdom during the Prohibition era. It stars one of my favorite actors of all time Rod Steiger, in an all out tour-de-force. After seeing this excellent gangster movie a long time ago, there has been no actor in any Al Capone role, that has came close to this film by Steiger. He is brutal to see the least, and his rise to power in Chicago is amazing to see, because it is based on true events. Great film, even after all these years Steiger is truly amazing as Capone. Be sure and catch this on DVD, the transfer is exceptional. No extras, but it's well worth watching.

Why would I kill him we're friends!?
8 years before he won 1967 best actor Oscar for his portrayal of a small-town police chief In the Heat of the Night, Rod Steiger play a powerful role on the opposite side of the law, giving a magnetic performance as a notorious Chicago gangster who took the underworld into the business world. I had a good feeling about this film and I was right it was a great film. Rod Steiger electrifies in his portrayal Al Capone, equally well supported bye James Gregory as a police chief trying to bring Capone down, Martin Balsam as the corrupt newspaperman, Nehemiah persoff as Al Capone boss and friend, and the lovely Fay Spain as the Widow of the police officer Capone gun down and later romances. special mention goes to Murvyn Vye,Robert Gist and the always Dependable Lewis Charles who's always good in any gangster movie. these three really personified evilness that were against Capone especially
