The Untouchables television series was produced at the high point
of the US film series drama in the early 1960s. The series featured
the crusade of Federal agent Eliot Ness (played by Robert Stack)
against the Prohibition era underworld of "Scarface" Al Capone. The
long-running series featured early roles from a variety of screen
personalities (such as Leslie Nielson, Peter Falk, James Coburn,
Charles Bronson, Leonard Nimoy, Robert Redford, and Robert Duvall)
as well as established Hollywood players (Lee van Cleef, Lee
Marvin, Patricia Neal, Barbara Stanwyck, and Dorothy Malone). The
show set new standards for TV action and pioneered a more
adventurous approach to the representation of violence on TV, which
in turn provoked considerable controversy as well as acclaim. Tise
Vahimagi details in this text the development of the "Gangster"
genre and "The Untouchables'" relations to American cinema and
television of the 1950s and 1960s, offering a sidelight onto the
social and political event of the period. This book also includes
illustrations and detailed credits providing a full production
history for followers of of the series.
