Rod Steiger looks to be having a whale of a time chewing not only the scenery, but also the props and a few fellow cast members' legs as the notorious Al 'Scarface' Capone. And although he overacts shamelessly, he's great fun to watch. While the plot may stick reasonably close to reality, Capone's domestic issues look to be pure fiction, with no mention made of his wife and child. But there's plenty of violent action, lots of treachery and backstabbing, and a neat turn from Martin Balsam as a less than esteemed member of the press.
