Synopsis: The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967)
Synopis: Roger Corman was given the huge budget (for him) of one million dollars by 20th Century Fox to produce this documentary-esque depiction of the infamous 1929 shooting of seven Chicago mobsters. It's a fascinating reproduction of a time when bloodshed was plotted in business boardrooms and tommy guns were a daily fact of urban living. Jason Robards stars as mob boss Al Capone, with Raplh Meeker as his North Side rival Bugsy Moran. George Segal is Peter Gusenberg, one of Bugsy's henchmen targeted for takedown. To add a little sex and spice, there's a lengthy domestic-dispute scene between Gusenberg and his lovely negligee-clad moll (Jean Hale). The rest is strictly business and bullets though, with Robards chewing the scenery to nice little splinters and lots of Corman regulars appearing in bit parts, including Barboura Morris and Dick Miller. Bruce Dern appears a getaway driver. One has to keep a sharp watch to find Jack Nicholson, who floats through several scenes as one of Capone's assassins. It's a fast-moving, well-told saga, with excellent period reproduction thanks to sets refurbished from MY FAIR LADY and great deadpan narration by Paul Frees.Features: The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967)

St, Valentines Day Massacre
, August 4, 2001Reviewer: rofglamour_2000 - See all rofglamour_2000's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this St. Valentine's Day Massacre review helpful This is one of the best Gangster flicks ever made. Even though Jason Robards wouldn't have been my first choice to play Al Capone, his performance was a bit on the hammy side, but this isn't really a story about Al Capone, it was a movie depicting the events that led up to the famous murders. there are some discrepencies, but they are minor ones. The main story is there and it shows the brutallity of gangster life as it was back in the late 20's. I would recommend this film for all gangster movie buffs, Watch for an unbilled Jack Nicholson. ...
