There has NEVER been a better scene on television than the one in this episode where Frank Nitti (Bruce Gordon) and his goons enter a deserted warehouse for a rendezvous with Eddie Fletcher (Steve Cochran) and the Purple Gang. The eeriness and raw power of that scene is stunning. Not to mention the acting of Gordon, Cochran, and Carl Milletaire. Show this scene to any fan of crap shows like "Buffy" and "Angel" and even they will be amazed. Nothing out there on television today can top what was done on The Untouchables nearly 50 years ago. It's a timeless classic that still blows people away and the Purple Gang is one of its best episodes. You want to see a real hero, watch Robert Stack. You want to see real villains, watch Bruce Gordon and Steve Cochran. None of this Buffy and Angel crap.
