Edit
Trivia For the massacre scene in the garage, the actors playing the slain gangsters were shown photos and directed as how to fall so their positions were identical to the real photos of the massacre. Two actors bumped together on the way down. After studying photographs they realized they had fallen and collided in the exact way the slain gangsters had fallen and had landed in the correct positions. See more »
Goofs The biographical narrative on Al Capone states he was born in Italy but raised in a Brooklyn slum. Capone was actually born in Brooklyn on January 17, 1899. See more »
