On October 15th, 1959, ABC Television and Desilu Productions unveiled "a new kind of series" called The Untouchables and rocked American audiences out of their suburban living rooms and into Chicago's Prohibition streets with the battle of Eliot Ness and his incorruptible agents against the criminal forces of Al Capone.
Praised for its quality and famous for its drama, The Untouchables (1959-1963) roared like the decade it portrayed in grand, theatrical style. A controversial and Emmy award-winning series, its legacy in film and television has been felt from Hollywood to the halls of Congress and has impacted everything from The Simpsons to The Sopranos.
In recognition of the program's 60th Anniversary in 2019, The Untouchables Retrospective is a detailed and nostalgic account of American television's finest film noir hosted by filmmaker and Untouchables historian Kelly Lynch which will explore the production of all four seasons of the show, celebrate its most outstanding hours and document the cultural and artistic impact of its true and fictional stories.
