The Untouchables (TV Series) The Big Train: Part 2 (1961) User Reviews

While almost complete fiction, it is a very exciting conclusion to the two-parter.

This is the second part of a completely fictionalized account of Al Capone being moved from his prison cell in Atlanta to his new escape- proof cell at Alcatraz in California. While he really was moved from Atlanta to Alcatraz, the rest of the show is mostly hooey.

The show begins shortly after the train with Capone and other prisoners has left Atlanta. Ness and his men know that an attempt to free him will occur and it will be somewhere near Denver...but they need to do a lot of work to pin down the exact plan. Most of the episode, in contrast to the last, consists of Ness and his team's efforts.

This is a very tense and exciting episode...much more than the first part.

Good Second Part Of This Story

What went wrong? How did "the Feds" figure out this excellent plan to free Al Capone, just before he is incarcerated in the new impregnable Alcatraz prison. Well, according to this story, it was good timing, good detective work and a lot of luck.

A few breaks here and there and Elliot Ness and the boys slowly unraveled Capone's plans which culminated in a shootout in the tiny town of Culverville, Ca.

In addition to Neville Brand playing "Al Capone," I liked Frank London in the role of "Benny Marcus." He was an interesting character, and a guy who turned out to be the key man in solving the "case."

This episode has a lot more tense moments than Part I of "The Big Train" and the 50-minute show breezes by. Excellent effort!

The Mission set free Al Capone avoid Alcatraz and disappears toward Italy-part two!!!!

In this second part of previous episode Al Capone imprisoned at Atlanta meanwhile Alcatraz already is able to received the most dangerous American criminals, when the train left Atlanta prison toward into Alcatraz, Capone's crew at Chicago have enough time to settle a plan to rescue Capone along the way, nonetheless Eliot Ness's crew aware that somewhere the gang will try stop the train to pick up the famous mobster, but they work half blind.

Suddenly appears a hint how the Capone's gang will reach at train's route, the joined money for Capone lives at Italy will be sending by plane, however the matter is finds out where the rendezvous should be, according the pilot the meeting point is unknown, just the range of the flying was given to him around 710 miles, thus Eliot Ness figures out that the trading place must be at smallest town Cloverville on California territory at junction train tracks, Capone's gang is still there pretending be US's officers, the local Sheriff was a easily target to they take over the town and the Railroad station and train arrival at Cloverville will be 11.42 exactly schedule time.

Aware that Eliot Ness enforces a task force get into the village meanwhile he and they fellow mates arrive by plane as phony Chicago's thugs as delivers men of suitcase full of money, here sadly the writers committed a dreadful mistake due the own Ness is largely known cross-country in America, whoever placed Ness among most trustworthy Al Capone's gang as Eric Holvig (James Westerfield) that clearly knows Eliot Ness's face, fairly noticed by the audience, such weird thing spoils a little a good episode.

Thanks for reading.
