The Untouchables: The Complete Series Black & White

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Having watched this show a lot when younger via reruns, I was a bit reluctant to order this (having since become a devoted Film Noir fanatic, I was afraid The Untouchables wouldn’t hold up after being spoiled by the standards set by that genre).

I’m glad to report that, for me at least, I had nothing to fear, and though there are no episodes to rival the best of Film Noir, there is much, much, much to enjoy here (and episodes were presented for an hour long time slot – minus commercials, so they last just under an hour – allowing enough breathing room for some plot complexity to play out).

Lots of familiar faces show up, as well as many previously unknown to me, always keeping the proceedings interesting and also note that this show employed a number of name (or soon to be name) directors, writers, etc. that added a nice quality of gritty style to most episodes.

Other reviewers have provided more details which I must thank them for, as I had read most before making my decision to buy this directly from Amazon (no one beats them for service, they are in my opinion the new Untouchables and delivered this huge brick of a box set to my door in record time and in perfect sealed condition containing all 31 Discs that played perfectly).

I did the math. This is over 100 hours (approximately the equivalent of 66 Film Noir features) of great, vintage pulp TV, all presented in pristine prints augmented in value by optional English subtitles. Sold to another satisfied customer.

Great black and white series starring Robert Stack that aired from 1959-1963.
