Al Capone's imprisonment opened the way for mobster Frank Nitti to become the underworld king of Chicago as related in this true story.
Francesco Raffaele Nitto, commonly known as Frank Nitti, and nicknamed "The Enforcer", was an Italian-American gangster. One of Al Capone's top henchmen, Nitti was in charge of all money flowing through the operation. Nitti later succeeded Capone as boss of the Chicago Outfit.
This is a well made TV movie that succeeds in getting real depth to its story, the film looks and has a authentic feel of the era represented. The real strength of the film is in its major casting of Australian actor the very reliable Anthony LaPaglia as the title charterer of Frank Nitti to whom he has more than a passing resemblance.I found this little known gangster film,well worth watching and very surprisingly good.
