The Untouchables (1959): Jazz was born in the Roaring Twenties. It's now 1930, and on Chicago's Gold Coast there's a nightspot called "Goose Gander's Golden Egg" jazz club. Blues player Eddie Moon is blowing his hot cornet with the jazz band. But then mobster Lucky talks to Ray "Goose" Gander; Lucky wants him to carry Lou Cagan's hooch in his joint. Ray refuses, the strongest drink he serves in his place is coffee. Then Lucky's hitman plays some music of his own-- with his tommy gun; he shoots up the joint. But tonight Lucky isn't so lucky; an hour later, Eliot Ness and Lee Hobson and Enrico Rossi grab him. This is the 3rd little, independent club he's shot up; the previous 2 were the Whoopee Club and the Lion's Den. Ness runs him in. Meanwhile Lou Cagan (Mr. Big of the Chicago northside), who owns the lavish gambling resort the Parthenon Hotel, is getting some bad news from Louis "Lepke" Buchalter. Lepke, representing the New York syndicate, tells Cagan they sent him 700 cases of booze, but he hasn't sold any; Cagan says things are slow, and the booze will start moving again. Lepke tells him to open 10 new outlets now, or else! Later, Ray Gander gets another visitor who tells him to sign up with Cagan: Ness. Eliot tells him to buy Cagan's rotgut, find out where he gets his booze and stores it, and then give him the information, so he can put Cagan away once and for all. Eddie Moon, who has been listening in on this conversation, blows taps: if Ray "Goose" crosses Cagan, it'll be Blues for a Gone Goose. Eddie really loves the old slob, so he talks him out of signing with Cagan and double-crossing him. Ironically, this backfires. That night, Cagan and his wife Bunny visit Ray's nightclub; Lucky rubs out Ray. Enrico Rossi finds the body; Rossi yells at Lucky to "hold it!" Lucky draws his gun, but Rossi shoots him, seriously wounding him. Ness, wanting to keep Lucky alive in the hospital, leaks the story that he's dead. Next day, Cagan sends his wife Bunny to Eddie, to give him money for Ray's funeral. Bunny denies that Cagan had Ray rubbed out. Eddie says, "You must be blind or stupid or as crummy as he is." She slaps him; they do some heavy smooching. Then Eddie says sarcastically, "The loyal, noble wife. I make one pass..." and she slaps him again. The dame's dizzy for him. Eddie Moon's out for revenge against Cagan and Bunny. Eddie tells Cagan he wants to reopen the Golden Goose, and be partners; really, he wants to get information to Ness. His tips lead to Ness smashing 1,400 cases of booze. When Eddie tells Bunny that he wants to kill Cagan, she falls head-over-heels in love with him; they start shacking up. When Cagan finds out Lucky is still alive, he has one of his hoods lob a pineapple into the hospital room; they don't care that the room holds 4 patients. They get blown up, along with a cop. An hour later, an angry Ness confronts Eddie and tells him that 2 patients, an intern and a cop were killed along with Lucky. Now, Ness' raids are fast and frequent. Eddie thinks Bunny squealed that Lucky was in the hospital; Bunny thinks Eddie is tipping off Ness. The whole time, they're still smooching and shacking up. Bunny loves Eddie, and leaves her husband for him. But Eddie was just motivated by revenge; he lies to Cagan, and tells him Bunny has been squealing to Ness. Cagan shoots Bunny; in the shootout, Ness and Lee Hobson shoot Cagan. And so Cagan's bootlegging operation is crushed. As for Eddie, who betrayed the woman who loved him, he hung up his cornet and never played the blues again. (synopsis by: kdh)
