Editorial Reviews

Though Prohibition is over and his arch-enemy Al Capone has gone toes-up, Eliot Ness is forced back into action to keep the streets of Chicago safe from the mob bosses and America's most dangerous criminals. "The Return of Eliot Ness" is a follow-up to the popular 1959-1963 television series "The Untouchables." Eliot Ness decides to come out of retirement after the murder of Marty Labine, an ex-cop wrongly accused of mob ties. Ness joins up with Labine's son, and together the two descend into the dangerous criminal underworld to capture the killer.

I'm perhaps not the best person to review this film, for me Robert Stack could never do any wrong. That said, it did keep me entertained throughout. The story was a good one with Ness coming back to Chicago to pay his respects to a dead friend and colleague. The friend it turns out has been accused of being on the take. Ness stays in Chicago to help his friend's son clear his name. The truth when it emerges is quite stunning. The son of the head of the local mafia family, being the villain of the piece together with his father's moll, ploting to take over the gambling operations and muscling in on other mafia families action by doing a deal with the commander of the garrison where they store obsolete military weapons before being shipped out to be melted down. Ness's friend had discovered this and was set up to make it look as if he was corrupt. Robert Stack was 72 years old when he made this film. In my opinion he made a fine job of it, re-affirming my belief he was one of Hollywood's most underrated actors. Strongly recommended.

I loved watching the TV series the Untouchables when I was a young boy. I have recently purchased season 1 volumes 1 & 2 as they have just recently been released on DVD. They're great. Then I came across this. I ordered it and was very happy. Eliot Ness being much older coming out of retirement. Just seemed to put closure to the whole saga. The DVD is excellent in my opinion and a must have for those who enjoyed the Untouchables original series.
