DVD Reviews of Eliot Ness: An Untouchable Life
DVD Review: "Eliot Ness:An Untouchable Life ... Max Allan Collins & Michael Cornelison ... VCI Ent. (2007)"
Summary: 5 Stars
VCI Entertainment presents "ELIOT NESS: AN UNTOUCHABLE LIFE" --- (Dolby digitally remastered) --- Michael Cornelison stars as Eliot Ness, in this one hour, forty minute film is much akin to Hal Holbrook's classic "Mark Twain Tonight" production, but is enlivened by a shifting background of settings and assorted props --- The snappy, evocative music score adds to the experience --- Witness the man who created the stylish "Nathan Heller" Detective series and "The Road To Perdition" (amongst other notable works); Max Allan Collins knows how to bring a true "Period" feel to life for his audience --- Eliot P. Ness (April 19, 1903 - May 16, 1957) was an American Prohibition agent, famous for his efforts to enforce Prohibition in Chicago, Illinois, as the leader of a legendary team nicknamed The Untouchables.
Covered are the pertinent details of the life of Eliot Ness, from his beginnings to his untimely death. From Chicago to Cleveland... Capone, The Mad Butcher Of Kingsbury Run, Moonshiners, Labor Racketeers, and Numbers Runners -- Ness went after them all -- The Truth is here --- The real Eliot Ness has sadly been overshadowed for decades by the erroneous depiction's of TV series, movie portrayals and assorted misguided "experts" --- In this excellent effort, Max Allan Collins comes as close as one can to allowing Ness Himself to relate his True Detective adventures --- An considerable undertaking is carried out by proxy in the form of a talented actor passionately addressing the audience as Ness --- Noted Author/Historian (and Film-maker) Max Allan Collins insightfully addresses the life and times of crime fighter Eliot Ness in this absorbing filmed stage play.
Max Allan Collins found the proper venue for getting this gem out to The Public at large --- Whether one is already familiar with The Real Eliot Ness, or merely in search of THE TRUTH about The Man; this one man production is not to be missed.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
1. Award winning short film that inspired the play and feature.
2. Extended excerpts from live performance of the play
3. Commentary with director/writer Max Allan Collins, star Michael Cornelison and Director of Photography Phillip W. Dingeldein.
