Untouchable
How incorruptible federal agent Eliot Ness stood up to Al Capone during prohibition era Chicago. With Joe Queenan. From 2007.
In prohibition era Chicago, few men were brave enough to stand up to the gangster and businessman, Al Capone.
One who did was incorruptible federal agent Eliot Ness, leader of the 'Untouchables' and subject of books and films galore.
Joe Queenan explores why the story of gangbuster Ness continues to loom large in the American imagination.
Produced at 成人快手 Manchester by Geoff Bird.
First broadcast on 成人快手 Radio 4 in June 2007.
