FILM STUDIES: THE UNTOUCHABLES
Following on from our "reading" of The Untouchables, Al Capone was never convicted with murder but with tax evasion. He was sent to several prisons including the infamous Alcatraz island known as "The Rock". Here is a brief description of The Rock including a mention for Al Capone.
Above top left is a picture of his "mug-shot". Do you think De Niro looked anything like the real Capone in the film? If not, does it matter?
