UNTOUCHABLE (320kbs-m4a/64mb/28mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 31st August 2021
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 BBC Manchester by Geoff Bird.
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in June 2007.
