The Untouchables (1959): New York City: Yankee Stadium, the Bronx. On the evening of June 8, 1933, Max Baer knocked out Max Schmeling in the 10th round of their scheduled 15-round championship boxing match.* The gate was $240,000. (Since 60,000 fans were there, that means the average ticket price was $4.00) An hour later, one of the Granite Armored Cars, with 4 armed guards, drives off with the receipts. Doreen Maney steps in front of the moving truck; the driver slams on his brakes, but Doreen falls down as if she's been hit. When the driver gets out of the truck and checks on her, she pulls out a gun. Sheik Humphries drops a tear-gas canister through a conveniently-located vent in the armored truck, forcing the other 3 guards out. Jake Logan, a triggerman who was hired just for this job (not a member of the gang), keeps his chopper handy. Then Len Carson, the 3rd member of the gang, drives up with their getaway car; he starts stealing money from the armored car. Everything was going as Doreen wanted it-- with no bloodshed-- until one of the guards shoots Jake Logan and Sheik Humphries, injuring them; Logan blasts all 4 guards with his chopper, killing them all. Len drives the gang away. Doreen stops at Penn Station, and puts 2 suitcases with the money into a 10-cent storage locker. (this looks like one of those 24-hour storage lockers.) Doreen hides the key on a ledge on the wall, at the end of the row of lockers. Since the police will be looking for anyone with gunshot wounds, they decide to drive to Doreen's dad's farm in Tennessee. Jake Logan says he can't hold out that long without medical attention-- so Sheik Humphries throws him out of their speeding car and pumps 4 bullets into him. (he doesn't know Logan survived.) Then Sheik blandly announces: everyone's cut has just gone up from 25% to 33-1/3%. Ness and his men are on the case; they'd been working for the past 10 months on armored truck robberies that happened in Baltimore, Cleveland and Detroit-- since the crimes crossed state lines, it's a Federal offense. Ness and his men fly to New York. Ness' first break is when Logan, dying in Bellevue Hospital, tells Ness that one of the gang is Doreen Maney. Near Mitchell, Tennessee, on daddy's farm, Doreen (age 23) and hoods meet her dad (a hypocrite who spouts Bible verses but accepts their stolen money), and Doreen's cute little sister Maybelle-- who is at the age where she has discovered boys and wants to get away from home. Maybelle's dad never let her date, and now she is falling in love with Sheik Humphries; he kisses Maybelle and tells her he'll take her to New York, which sounds pretty exciting to this small-town girl. Ness and Rico and the local sheriff go to the Maney farm. When Doreen drives the getaway car, she is chased by the sheriff and Ness; Doreen slows down long enough for Sheik and Carson to jump out. When the back tire of Doreen's car has a blowout, she is captured; Doreen has to spend a few days in the hospital-- but Doreen is confident Sheik will rescue her, after all they are known as the Lovebirds. Ness and Rico stay in Tennessee; a few days later, in New York, Len Carson offers Cam Allison a 5-G bribe-- when Cam phones Ness, Eliot tells him to take the bribe, also to send Youngfellow and Rossman down. Ness and the sheriff set a trap: they will drive Doreen the 745 miles from Mitchell, Tennessee to the Bronx, hoping to trap her Lovebird the Sheik. Cam Allison lets Carson see the telegram (Cam also talked him up to $7,500); this plays right into Ness' hands, he wants Sheik and Carson to know their route. (one assumes Cam then turned the bribe money over to the policeman's retirement fund, or whatever.) Ness' trip, escorting Doreen to New York, will be stretched out over 3 days, June 19-21. First day, 2 cars set out: in one car, Rossman driving, a matron up front, Ness and Doreen in the back; in the 2nd car, following at a distance, Enrico and Youngfellow. Doreen tells Ness what her home life was like, "A girl, 16, makes one mistake. He [dad] throws her out, just when she needs him the most." (With the strict 1960 TV censors, this is as close as she can come to saying a 16-year-old girl had an affair.) The first night they stop in Pineville, West Virginia, but Sheik hasn't taken the bait. Next morning they set out for Tremont, Pennsylvania. That night, in a hotel room, Doreen and Ness are alone for a few minutes. Doreen says softly to Ness that, in the back-seat of the car, she's noticed him looking at her legs; she wants to make a deal, just let Sheik escape. (With the strict 1960 TV censors, this is as close as she can come to saying she'll have an affair with him, in return for the favor.) Ness' answer: when the matron walks in, he handcuffs Doreen to her. Later, Sheik sends a couple of boys into the hotel, knowing Ness' men will catch them. Sheik and Len take off in their getaway car; without taking any personal risk, Sheik has made Doreen think he tried a rescue attempt. Next day, Ness deposits Doreen at the Bronx country jail.** For 2 days Ness questions the triggermen: they know nothin' about nothin'. Then Doreen gets a visitor in jail: her kid sister. Maybelle says Sheik "makes her feel alive" and has bought her lingerie like chiffon robes, and she is living at his apartment. (With the strict 1960 TV censors, this is as close as she can come to saying she's having an affair with him.) She says Sheik needs the money, $75,000 to put up her bail. Later, Doreen has Ness confirm what she thought: there is no bail for murder. Ness plans a trap. At 1:00 a.m., he has Doreen transferred from the Bronx county jail to the Women's Detention Center, but lets her escape. Ness tails Doreen as she takes a cab to the Penn Station, and phones her "Lovebird" who double-crossed her with her own sister. Ness stops her just as she is about to shoot Sheik with his own gun. Ness shoots and wounds Sheik. And so, on June 25, 1933, the Lovebirds wound up in separate cages. (synopsis by: kdh)
