When handed a decent budget, B-movie king Roger

When handed a decent budget, B-movie king Roger Corman proved that he could throw together a pretty decent movie. 1967’s St. Valentine’s Day Massacre is a good example. The story is well-known: Al Capone (Jason Robards) orders a hit on rival gang-leader Bugs Moran (Ralph Meeker) in pre-Depression Chicago, leading to the mass killing that took place on February 14, 1929. While Robards initially feels miscast as the ruthless Capone, he actually does a pretty decent job in his portrayal of the mercurial criminal. The supporting cast is solid throughout, the period details are excellent, and the movie, overall, has a nicely polished feel to it. Of course, there is the nagging problem of the narrator to deal with, who pops up constantly with character details that are generally unnecessary, serving no purpose other than to annoy the audience.

I was born quite near and grew up

I was born quite near and grew up in the neighborhood where the Massacre took place in the Lincoln Park/Clark Street area of Chicago where the shooting to place. I was quite interested in the streets & locations listed in the movie where I lived and had apartments over the years. It seemed to stick to the facts quite well. However, the cast was nothing like I imagined the true historical characters involved. Jason Robards was a great actor. BUT he could never be the tough, Italian Al Capone. One bright star stood out in the movie-Young Bruce Dern as the reluctant, shy mechanic with a family and bills to pay gets caught up in the whole mess and ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Interesting film but De Niro is still the best Capone ever.
