Chicago. . . the 1930s. . . gangsters. All the action, all the violence, all the good guys and bad guys that made The Untouchables one of the most popular TV series comes this summer in paperback and on the big screen. The Untouchables is sure to do for the movie tie-in business what Elliot Ness did for Chicago--clean up! The movie stars Robert DeNiro, Kevin Costner and Sean Connery and is scheduled for release June 5, 1987.

The author of the novelization is a long-time mystery writer, so he does a decent job of fleshing out the characters and telling the story well. It is obviously based on an early draft of the script, and lacks the great style that director Brian DePalma brought to the film. Still, a good read and fills in much detail that is not in the film.
