And When Al Capone Steps Up To Bat It’s Always A Double-Header (Wham!)
Favorite movie quote – “They don’t call that guy ‘Bugs’ for nothing!” (snicker-snicker)

Yep. I was really surprised to find out that 1967’s The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (or, TSVDM, for short) was, in fact, directed by Roger Corman, the undisputed “king” of super low-budget horror and teen exploitation films of the 1950s and 60s.

(And, I must say that I was quite impressed)

Up to this point in his film-making career Corman had been directing “quickies” with budgets in the $250,000 range (or less). But, then, with this picture he was handed a cool million to throw around. And, by what I saw, I don’t think that he recklessly squandered that dough on this production.

Set in the year 1929 (in the crime-drenched metropolis of Chicago), TSVDM’s story is, indeed, based on actual events that led up to a very special sort of Valentine’s Day surprise that made the most sensational headlines that you could possibly imagine.

Featuring plenty of swell-looking cars, cheap-looking whores, and deadly, drive-by shootings, TSVDM is an exciting gangster picture of treachery and double-crosses that, convincingly enough, captures the nostalgic feel of a “Depression Era” America.

Other than a few “damns”, and a couple of “hells”, thrown in for good measure, this rough, tough macho-man picture contained no profanity, whatsoever.

My one big beef about this picture has to do with the gross miscasting of actor Jason Robards as the ruthlessly violent Al Capone character.

I mean, let’s face it, Capone was, without question, one of the meanest and lousiest bastards imaginable. And, nope, I’m sorry to say, Robards just didn’t cut the mustard with his portrayal. No way, Jose.

Seven Unhappy Men.
I’d like to think that Roger Corman and the cast had a jolly good time making this outrageous movie. Certainly everyone in the cast seems to be enjoying himself. It’s as if Corman’s directorial advice had been boiled down to one sentence: Swing away.

A nice cast, full of familiar faces. Most enjoyable: Jason Robards Jr. trying to imitate an Italian mobster using every operatic device in the book. See him learn of the death of an underling and break into sobs. Watch him explode in rage and spout Italian in an American accent. Shiver at the relish with which he proceeds with the castration of an “assassino”. Laugh out loud as he gesticulates, he shrieks, he chokes with contumely, his exopthalmic eyeballs threatening to pop at any moment and launch themselves at his target.

Most entertaining scene: George Segal, as one of the seven, who has a fight with his paramour over an expensive fur coat. He smashes a half-eaten sandwich in her face, she kicks him in the jewels after his violence turns him amorous, he throws her out into the hall in her scanties, then dashes after her and grabs the coat out of her hands, while half a dozen onlookers stand by and complain about the noise.

I’ve seen this twice. Can’t recall if the first viewing left me confused or not, but this one did. All I could make of it was that Capone and O’Banion were enemies, blaming each other for breaking the agreement. And the seven men blown to pieces in the garage were mostly unlucky schlubs. The story, addled by violent flashbacks to previous murders, is complicated enough to resemble the Borgia court.

Most memorable element of the film: Paul Frees’ fruity intonations as he narrates the plot. “On the last morning of his life, Peter Gusenberg ate a ham sandwich on rye with pickles and mustard….”
