Outstanding weekly television series of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Who can ever forget that haunting theme music that was played at the beginning and end of each episode? The show was just terrific, even down to the superb narration of Walter Winchell.
Having lost the Academy Award for his brilliant performance in "Written on the Wind," in 1956, Robert Stack turned his attention to this television series. He portrayed Eliot Ness, a crime buster of A-1 quality, who would bring down some of the biggest names in crime history.
With a terrific supporting cast, each weekly episode was an absolute treasure to view. People such as Nehemiah Persoff and Virginia Vincent had standard stand-out roles.
Yes, there was plenty of violence but Chicago of the 1930s was just that.
