Powerful stuff. You can't beat this show. Black and white TV noir: dark wet streets, light and dark chiaroscuro shadows, feds, gangsters and the best character actors of all time guest starring on the show. To name a few: Lee Marvin, Peter Falk, Jack Klugman, Telly Savalas, Nehemiah Persoff, Martin Balsam, Robert Redford, Jack Warden, Neville Brand, on and on and on. Robert Stack is at his best as Eliot Ness and Bruce Gordon is wonderful as his nemesis Frank Nitti. And definitely don't leave out Nick Georgiade as Rico Rossi, Paul Pecerni as Lee Hobson, Abel Fernandez as William Youngfellow and, last but not least, Steve London as Jack Rossman round out the rest of Untouchable'a squad. Molls, machine guns, the roaring twenties and depression era 30s, tough guys and down and out gals plus Walter Winchell as narrator which gives the series a documentary feel. This show has it all.

I agree that "The Untouchables" was TV at its best and now I want them ALL on DVD please. I used to race home to watch it after school. It stood out like a diamond on black velvet -- especially when our night time fare choices were shows as classy as "Family Affair," "Green Acres" and "The Monkeys."
