No, Capone did not die from a gunfight. He died of cardiac arrest in 1947, "but his decline began earlier. After his transfer to Alcatraz prison, his mental and physical condition deteriorated from paresis (a late stage of syphilis). He was released in November 1939 and was sent to a Baltimore mental hospital before he retired to his Florida estate".

It was a BEAUTIFUL film. The cinematography was amazing, wasn't it? Pre-CGI and the city scene looked so authentically 1920s. Capone showed signs of neurosyphilis early in his sentence and became increasingly debilitated before being released after almost eight years of incarceration. On January 25, 1947, he died of cardiac arrest after a stroke.

Charles Martin Smith (Wallace) is severely underrated. Solid character actor (Starman, American Graffiti, Never Cry Wolf) and he’s done some directing too (“Stone of Destiny” with Charlie Cox and Robert Carlyle, and S1E2 of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”). 7:34 Andy Garcia, who’s Cuban, always seems to play an Italian.

Great reaction, guys. You make such a good team. It's a somewhat fanciful fictionalised version of the real events, but a terrific movie with fine performances nonetheless. Fun fact: Capone was never part of the Mafia. You had to be Sicilian and he was Neapolitan. That's why he moved from New York to carve out his own turf in Chicago. Nailing him with tax evasion was a big PR coup for the cops, but there were actually plenty more to take his place.

Illness and death Due to his failing health, Capone was released from prison on November 16, 1939,[130] and referred to the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for the treatment of syphilitic paresis. Because of his unsavory reputation, Johns Hopkins refused to treat him, but Union Memorial Hospital was willing to take him as a patient. Capone was grateful for the compassionate care that he received and donated two Japanese weeping cherry trees to Union Memorial Hospital in 1939. After a few weeks of inpatient and outpatient care, on March 20, 1940, a very sickly Capone left Baltimore and travelled to his mansion in Palm Island, Florida.[131][132][133] In 1942, after mass production of penicillin was started in the United States, Capone was one of the first American patients treated by the new drug.[134] Though it was too late for him to reverse the damage to his brain, it did slow down the progression of the disease.[125] In 1946, his physician and a Baltimore psychiatrist examined him and concluded that Capone had the mentality of a 12-year-old child.[89] He spent the last years of his life at his mansion in Palm Island, Florida, spending time with his wife and grandchildren.[135] On January 21, 1947, Capone had a stroke. He regained consciousness and started to improve, but contracted bronchopneumonia. He suffered a cardiac arrest on January 22, and on January 25, surrounded by his family in his home, Capone died after his heart failed as a result of apoplexy.[136][137] His body was transported back to Chicago a week later and a private funeral was held.[138] He was originally buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Chicago. In 1950, Capone's remains, along with those of his father, Gabriele, and brother, Frank, were moved to Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois.[139][140]

Prohibition was a weird law with a lot of holes. It was never illegal to drink or own alcohol. Cops didn't search individuals or care what was in their homes. It was illegal to Produce it and distribute it/sell it. But even that part had holes if it was considered medicinal. Doctors could give it out. So lots of people got alcohol from their doctor or illegally on the street obviously.

@@Lakeshore14 Thanks, I've watched over 1k reactions to different movies in the last 3 or 4 years. The only movie reactions I haven't seen are movies I personally have not watched yet or have not seen in decades. One reaction I really want to see is John Wick (have not seen any of them yet, and it's not on any of the streaming platforms I subscribe to). I hear it gets a lot of great reviews. Also, haven't seen One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest in almost 40 years, so need to watch again before I watch any reactions. I need to watch Shawshank Redemption again too before any reactions. Haven't seen since it since it first came out. Anyways, of all the movies I have seen there are only a handful that I've never seen get any bad or negative reviews, even by the most harsh (and/or weird) reactors of any age or generation. They are Saving Private Ryan, The Sixth Sense, Silence of the Lambs, Rocky (most female reactors are very, very pleasantly surprised), Plains, Trains, and Automobiles, Star Wars episode IV, Se7en, and Back to the Future. I have seen one person give The Thing (1982) a weird/bad review. It was by "Just Trust Ash", who is the most vocal and animated reactor I have seen to date. Almost the entire reaction he was silent and completely engaged, which he has never been in any other reaction. However, he did not like how it ended, and is the only reason and reactor who gave a bad review because of it. I messaged him and he actually replied with his reasoning (which makes no sense to me). If you have seen the movie, check out his reaction. If you haven't, it is a must watch. Ironically, he loves almost every movie I do. P.S. There are movies like E.T., The Shining, The Godfather, and Goodfellas that I was certain would never get a bad review or reaction, but some people just don't connect for one reason or another. IMO, the best movies ever made were from 1972 to 1999 (28 years). If you checked a list of top 50 movies ever made, over 90% were made during those years.

Re one of your last points: when Eliot gives George the St. Jude medal because Malone would "want a cop to have it", he was referring to how (Ness) was never actually a cop--just a Treasury Officer on special/temporary assignment to the Chicago police department (and who was about to go back to his regular responsibilities). While George was the opposite--a cop who had started his career on special loan to the Treasury Department (and was about to spend the rest of his career as a cop). They were all law enforcement officers, but Malone and Stone were cops, while Ness and Wallace were from the Treasury Department.

Capone didn’t die in a shootout but he probably wished he had…instead Capone suffered from syphilis while incarcerated in Alcatraz to the point he was certifiably insane eventually released from prison and lived like a feeble minded man in Florida where he died…and during Prohibition you were allowed to drink alcohol…in short Prohibition law was the legal prevention of the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages in the United States from 1920 to 1933 under the terms of the Eighteenth Amendment.

@mikecaetano Жыл бұрын

Al Capone died at his mansion in Florida in 1947 due to complications from late-stage syphilis. In short, syphilis rotted his brain, he suffered a stroke, contracted pneumonia and died from a heart attack. If you wanna see a classic gangster movie based on Capone, check out the original Scarface from 1932, starring Paul Muni. That film will probably surprise you with its intensity. And for more great gangster films from the 1930's, check out Little Caesar (1931), The Public Enemy (1931), Taxi! (1932), The Petrified Forest (1936), Each Dawn I Die (1939), and The Roaring Twenties (1939) among others.

The Untouchables is more Hollywood than reality. Elliot Ness rarely carried a gun (his holster was usually empty). He was more of an "office" type of law enforcement officer. In fact, Ness only met Capone once and that was during a prison transfer. This movie received mixed reviews, but there are a lot of fans of the movie. Sean Connery was really good in this movie too (Best Supporting Actor award). Out of 5☆, I would give it 3.5☆ P.S. Al Capone was eventually transferred to Alcatraz and became really sick. He eventually died of a heart attack or stroke in 1947. I believe he died in FL at his home.

For the record Al Capone wasn't Mafia. At that time in the early 1930s and before, not only you had to be 100% Italian you had to be Sicilian. Capone was of Neopolian decent. Lucky Luciano would later change that and open the American Mafia to all full blooded Italians. And in real life Al Capone was in his late 20s, no way as old as DeNiro is in this film. And Frank Nitti, the assassin in the white suit, actually took over Capone's Organization. Technically speaking Federal Agents aren't cops, police officers so St. Jude is from them. Capone did not die in a gunfight. He served time in prison and was let out because he was mentally debilitated due to syphilis, which he died of in 1948, in his mansion. The judge's name wasn't on the ledger but he was a corrupt judge who was in Capone's pocket so he could not say "What are you talking about?" He knew it was a strong possibility, so Ness's bluff worked.
