Eliot Ness: An Untouchable Life

Michael Cornelison Director: Max Allan Collins Max Allan Collins

Overview

Max Allan Collins - the author of the graphic novel that formed the basis of Sam Mendes's picture The Road to Perdition - qualifies as one of the leading experts on early 20th century crime and law enforcement. Collins parlayed his insights on these subjects into an Edgar Award-winning, one-man stage show on the life and career of anti-mob agent Eliot Ness, the legendary figure who helped bring down Al Capone and gained immortality via The Untouchables. The home video release Eliot Ness: An Untouchable Life presents a filmed version of the original stage play, starring Michael Cornelison of Remington Steele and Hunter fame.
