Film Stories
Monday, 9 February 2026 - 46 minutes
Brian De Palma's soaring 1987 crime drama The Untouchables nearly went in some very different directions. Jack Nicholson as Eliot Ness? Bob Hoskins as Al Capone? And what's more, the film's legendary sequence on the steps of Chicago's Union Station was pretty much made up on the fly.
The story is told in this episode, as well as the brief attempt to get a prequel movie - Capone Rising - off the ground as well.
