Zavvi - The Home of Pop Culture

Roger Corman’s most ambitious and expensive production – his only film for a major studio – is a violent and lurid account of the events leading up to one of the most infamous events in American crime history. Detailing the bitter and brutal rivalry between feuding Chicago mob bosses Al Capone and ‘Bugs’ Moran, Corman’s vividly realized film features terrific performances from Jason Robards, Ralph Meeker, and George Segal, and remains one of Corman’s best films.
