Welcome to Retroville! It's 1959! | ||||||||||||||||
In 1959, The Untouchables made its debut on television. The show would run for only four years, but would distinguish itself as the premiere crime drama for decades. This show was under constant attack by various groups which claimed that it defamed the image of Italians and Italian-Americans. Expertly produced with top-flight writing, the show attracted young and old, male and female, for the brief but memorable run. Robert Stack's Eliot Ness provided a powerful character with commanding screen presence and created big shoes for future justice and crime men to fill on the little screen. The show would ultimately become a movie of the same name in 1987, starring Kevin Costner and Sean Connery. |
