Capone

Capone

1975: Steve Carver, director; starring Ben Gazzara, Harry Guardino, Susan Blakely, Sylvester Stallone. Roger Corman, king of the B-movies, produced the movie while channeling 1970s disco-era sensibilities into this heavily fictionalized treatment of Al Capone’s rise to power in Prohibition-era Chicago. Corman, working for 20th Century Fox, also borrowed heavily from his 1967 Fox movie, The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, including large segments of film featuring places getting machine gunned. One of Stallone’s first major roles.
