The Untouchables: Season 3 Volume 2

Retro television shows have never done particularly well unless they were set in the Old West. Shows set in the 20's, 30's, 40's, etc, any era outside of the one in which they aired have never lasted long except in three major exceptions - Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and The Untouchables. The Untouchables succeeded for a number of reasons. First, the veil that had been on the Mafia for a number of years was slowly but surely being peeled off due to gangland killings and the fame of gangsters such as Al Capone, Bugsy Siegel, Dutch Schultz, Lucky Luciano, and others. Even before the Godfather and its outstanding first sequel, the public had a fascination and curiosity with the mob. So take some true events, ture characters, heavily fictionalize them with Hollywood gloss and pathos, and you get a very successful show that made a star out of Robert Stack and brought new fame to a Treasury agent named Eliot Ness. The Untouchables' collection should not have been split up into multiple sections. That's greed, pure and simple. But the lure of this show - its great characters, performances, grit and intelligence will draw buyers even though they know they're being ripped off. Stack's Ness is one of the best alltime detectives - fearless, relentless, and absolutely ruthless with the bad guys. The supporting casts were always excellent, and Bruce Gordon brough the right amount of humor and menace to Frank Nitti, Capone's chief lieutenant. The Untouchables - Season Three, Volume 2 is not untouchable, but it is irresistable.

Great edition

The one series that demonstrate a boundary-breaking vision on the design and build of crime-TV-drama. As such an example for all producers who are challenged to innovate. I could not find an aspect I did not appreciate. From the cast to the haunting, unforgettable voice of the narrator it represents stunning quality. I hope all seasons will be re-released

Highly fictionalized but fun gritty noir. Robert Stack commits as many crimes as the gangsters— B&E, willful destruction of property, assault and battery, etc.—the guy is outa control. We always root for the gangsters, who are better dressed anyway. If you love zoot suits, Tommy guns, and snazzy getsway cars, plus jazz age dames, this is the show for you.

As is the case with the other DVDs in this series this next installment is of excellent quality both in audio and video. Robert Stack shines as the great Eliot Ness, crime fighter of the 1930's. I am hoping that the final Season 4 will also be released to complete this series. The packaging of the videos is top notch and you will not be disappointed in these videos.

I have been an TV untouchables fan From way back, when I saw Amazon had them, had to have em, was not disappointed, quality And condition of dvd Was excellent. Also arrived earlier than Expected, Amazon You're fantastic!!

I got what I paid for and at 1/3 the cost of your big compeitor

The television programs produced in the 60's were better than the "crap" produced today where sitcom actors sit on a couch, crack jokes, and go nowhere. The Untouchables is an action series filmed in black and white which enabled using old 1930's film footage and mixing with the 1960's production. This puts the viewer back in the 1930's time frame. This series was "well done".
