Beskrivning

A fun and nostalgic deep dive into the making of The Untouchables to celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary.The Untouchables marks one of the high points of modern cinema: a film at the forefront of a new wellspring for studio-driven filmmaking and boasting some of the biggest names in Hollywood, both behind the camera—Brian De Palma, David Mamet, and Ennio Morricone—and in front—Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Andy Garcia, and Robert De Niro. Yet, no one has written the definitive history of the film.Michael C. Sullivan changes that with The Untouchables: The Making of a Classic Film, a sweeping deep-dive into the film’s genesis and production. Featuring behind-the-scenes stories and exclusive interviews, Sullivan covers everything from the real Prohibition-era struggle between lawman Eliot Ness and criminal Al Capone to the popular TV series of the same name from the 1950s and 1960s starring Robert Stack, before diving into the development, writing, casting, production, postproduction, release, and ongoing legacy of the 1987 film. Whether new to The Untouchables and looking to enhance your viewing experience or a long-time fan eager to learn more about your favorite film, this is a must-read for movie buffs and casual viewers alike.

Recensioner i media

Sullivan’s behind-the-scenes The Untouchables is more than a traditional ‘making-of’ book. It’s a deep dive into the reality and mythology of The Untouchables series and film, a story of the author’s discovery of the magic of cinema, an appreciation of director Brian DePalma, and a gift to Sullivan’s father, who introduced him to the power of the movies. A wonderful feat of cinematic scholarship.
