At last, a book about "the Untouchables"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The first part of the book takes us back to the roaring twenties and gives a very usefull historical analysis which allows us to understand how makers of the series use (distort) the facts in order to create a unique action drama full of violence. The book then details the development of the gangster movies and the making of the series during the sixties, a very comprehensive analysis of its major themes and also provides a very brief episode guide covering all four seasons. The book contains about twenty pictures or so (most of them are quite rare) and make this book even more enjoyable.
