“Corman’s direction is better than ever, with moving cameras and careful attention to details…thoughtful and well-conceived.”
-Glenn Erickson, DVD Talk
“One of Corman’s best films…The elaborate intrigue of the gang warfare is treated in a hard, almost documentary style, with newsreel-type commentary.”
-Time Out London
The singular Roger Corman directs The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (1967), a study of the events-and striking personalities-leading to gangland Chicago’s most infamous episode. Jason Robards stars as the fearsome Al Capone, with chilling support from Ralph Meeker, George Segal, and David Canary, all revealed to us in crisp documentary style thanks to a smart script by Howard Browne. Excoriated in its day for its unvarnished violence, it has emerged in recent years as a respected cult favorite.

Rival gang bosses in the 20’s and as they are getting more and more fed up with each other because Bugs wants more territory and he is moving in on Capone. Plots…
Lousy history but a lot of fun As others have said in earlier reviews, this is a Roger Corman film, not a documentary. It is an entertainment. It holds to the names, dates, etc. GENERALLY (they at least got the names of the dead right), but gets a good many particulars wrong (dates of birth of the principles where given, Capone birthplace, the death of Joe Aiello, etc.). In response to that, I have to say that “Ä¢one With The Wind” is great entertainment, but is lousy history, as are “The Battle Of The Bulger…
