Starring; Ben Gazzara, Harry Guardino, Susan Blakely, Sylvester Stallone, John Cassavetes, Frank Campanella, John Orchard, Carmen Argenziano, George Chandler, John Davis Chandler, Royal Dano
Another gangster film!
THE PLOT: The film basically chronicles the rise and fall of Al Capone (Ben Gazzara), through his apprenticeship and partnership with Johnny Torio (Harry Guardino) and Frankie Yale (John Cassavetes). He dates Iris Crawford (Susan Blakely), and wages war on the Irish North Side Mob.
THE REVIEW: The whole romance thing kind of reminded me of the love story in the extremely strange '92 version of Dracula. Other than that, this movie was fantastic. I was surprised when they showed the clips from The St. Valentine's Day Massacre film starring Jason Robards that was made in '67. While the killings were not as horrific as in TSVDM, they were still very gory and cool. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
