The Untouchables (1959): November 1932. FDR was moving to end Prohibition, and the crime syndicate was already shifting away from booze to narcotics. In the next few months, the narcotic supply is running low. February 20, 1933, Frank Nitti and his lieutenant Pete Konitz fly down to New Orleans, where the Mardi Gras will be taking place. The Capone gang's main supplier of narcotics, Emile Bouchard, is busy having his man Sully fit his car with bulletproof glass. Later, Nitti is demanding a drug shipment from Bouchard. On being told the stuff is coming in the next day, Nitti flies back to Chicago, leaving Konitz in New Orleans to get the narcotics. The next day, Ness and his men arrive in New Orleans. That night, Bouchard tells Konitz that he is sending his "two best men," Gil Haller and Hugger Davis, to pick up the heroin: a 3-pound shipment, worth several million dollars. But when they pick up the heroin, Gil shoots Hugger and steals the stuff. Then Gil goes back to Konitz and Bouchard with a phony story that he and Hugger were "attacked by 5 or 6 guys" who stole the heroin and shot Hugger. When Konitz phones Nitti in Chicago, and tells him the stuff was hijacked, Nitti's plenty sore! And suspicious. Nitti tells Konitz: "Find it." Konitz and his boys rough up some junkies, to find out who is supplying the stuff; one of the junkies tells them Mendez, a captain of a fishing boat, has it. When Konitz and his boys get to his boat, they find Mendez dead; they also find a tag on the boat with Bouchard's name on it. Ness and his men, tailing Konitz, then find the dead captain, too. Konitz confronts Bouchard-- he wants to know why Bouchard's tag was with the dead captain whom junkies said had the heroin. Bouchard tells Nitti's boys his tag is on a hundred boats, he rents them. Bouchard swears he isn't behind the theft-- why would he steal the stuff when it's his in the first place? However, later Gil meets with Bouchard; they cooked up this scheme to raise the price of the heroin. Gil had killed Mendez on the fishing boat; Gil's shoes smelled like fish, so he discarded them. But Konitz and his boys find the incriminating shoes-- when one shoe fits Gil, Konitz knows Gil committed the murder and kept the heroin. Konitz takes Gil's other shoe, and slashes it with his knife, to make a point. Pete Konitz: "It don't make no difference to a shoe." But Gil knows the knife could make a big difference to him! But before Konitz and his boys carve up Gil, Bouchard shows up with 3 of his boys. Bouchard tells Konitz he knows where the stuff is-- he created a shortage to drive up the price. And his price is 10% of the Syndicate's action: whiskey, drugs, the houses. Later, Bouchard double-crosses Gil; he cuts him out (even though Gil committed 2 murders to get his share). Gil, after taking a few false shots of courage at his local crawl and fall, goes to Konitz and makes a deal. That night Ness, Rico and Lee Hobson get a search warrant for Bouchard's place; they find Sully the mechanic unconscious and half-dead. Somebody has messed with Bouchard's bulletproof car. Nitti flies back down to New Orleans. Later, Bouchard and his 3 boys meet with Nitti, Konitz, a couple of boys and Gil. Nitti is mad, but restrained because he's over a barrel. He tells Bouchard, "You got it, we need it." But then Nitti makes his point: "We figure anybody can make a mistake-- ONE mistake." Nitti says, "No percentage, that's out." But he offers to double the price. "You take that," Nitti tells him, "or you take a bullet." Bouchard is to deliver the heroin at 6:30 p.m., before he drives his car in the Mardi Gras parade at 7:00 p.m. After Bouchard leaves, Nitti tells Gil that whether Bouchard delivers the stuff or not, he gets to rub out Bouchard either way. At 6:30 p.m., Bouchard is a no-show. At 7:00 p.m., Bouchard drives his bulletproof car in the Mardi Gras parade. But then Ness gets in on the passenger side of his car. Ness warns him that anyone in the crowd could be out to kill him. As for the bulletproof glass, Ness tells him Gil replaced it with ordinary glass, and Ness smashes a car window to prove his point. Bouchard is being set up-- it's Murder Under Glass. Ness tells Bouchard he's only safe with a federal officer sitting next to him-- and he's getting out at the next corner if Bouchard doesn't talk, and turn over the heroin. Bouchard tells him it's under the back seat of the car. Suddenly, Gil shows up and shoots Bouchard; Ness shoots Gil. Ness and his men retrieve the heroin. Nitti and Konitz, seeing this, take the open road out of Dodge. It would be months before the Capone Mob could recover from the blow of losing two shipments of narcotics. But the Mardi Gras parade recovered in a minute and a half. (synopsis by: kdh) --------------------------------- [ Mardi Gras was February 28, 1933.
