A film of some good moments - Ben Gazzara/Capone going mad at the end, the vivacity and beauty (and nudity) of Susan Blakely as Capone's upper glass gal (her death has someweight), John Cassavetes is electric in an all too brief appearance, the relationship between Capone and his unfaithful support Frank Nitti well played by Sylvester Stallone (a decent role for Sly).
But theres too much pointless gunfire and people shouting and not enough suspense,, sex, build up. It's unsubtly done. Like St Valentine's Day Massacre there's lots of details but we don't really get a sense of why it's important.
