- This video contains the opening sequence and episode teasers from the 1959-1963 ABC-TV series "The Untouchables," starring Robert Stack as real-life Chicago-based Prohibition agent Eliot Ness. The series was based on the 1957 Ness memoir "The Untouchables," ghostwritten by Oscar Fraley. What I had forgotten was that newspaper columnist Walter Winchell served as the show's narrator.
As a direct relative of agent Ness iam honored and pleased to see so many people still show interest thank you so much Robert Ness. In usa
Wow! hearing this goes through me life a KNIFE. I was born in 1953 and this show had a huge influence on me -- key in that influence was the power of the music. As a kid I had never heard music of such intensity and force. I LOVED this show like I could never possibly explain!
I stumbled on this show on sunday, and I was like black and white no thnk you, but for some reason didnt change it and ended up watching it the whole day lol. Awesome.
Rest in peace Nicholas Georgiade, the last Untouchable. Thank you for entertaining us all and look out for Frank Nitti's tommy gun at the Pearly Gates!
One of the Greatest TV black and white series ever. Still watching this till this day.
I still have the contemporaneous memory of seeing this series' opening credits when I was, probably, three years-old in '59. I came to know The Untouchables later in life as the show was in reruns but nothing beats remembering it in the moment.
The narrator is cherry on top of the wonderful sundae that is The Untouchables
Robert Stack as Elegant Mess
That take me back to a long time ago watching this show as a kid. 😊
One of my favorite shows when I was a kid
I watched this as a little kid. Wowser. Brings back the memories
This was airing late midnight on our local TV back in 1989. 📺👦
I watched this regularly as a kid in the early 70s. Very dark and gritty show for its time
Yes the BEST
... '' for its time'' Really!? It shows you were not a contemporary of those times, or, had a deep understanding of someone who was! People that 'owned' that era, as adult citizens of it, ie the 1930's up until about the 1950's, are/were just the most amazing people, in general! And so Film and TV show makers of that era were amazingly creative; really knowing how to fit the complexities of life into powerful hard hitting simple expressions of that; as all true artists do. The so called 'film artists' of today, for the most part, are not of the same creative calibre.

It was a dark TV show and was akin to film noir.
I love The Untouchables. Actually I always watch it!
Was shown, here in the UK at the time. Great show and fine acting from the entire cast! I would of been 5 years old at the time, yet i remember it so well...
Could not have been a better person to play Elliot Ness than Robert Stack in this show.
- CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT ONE!!!!!!.......
No, it was Stack's show and he was brilliant.
From what I hear not much has changed in Chicago, except the cars and the color of the hoods.
Robert Stack - the original Enforcer.
Forgotten how incredibly violent this series was, for its' time.
Classic US crime drama, along with "M Squad".
Many stars namely Liz Montgomery, Ryan O' Neal, Dan Blocker and
others appear in the programme.
Great stuff!
They recently removed this show from meta on late night--this profiled truth and justice--guess the lefties can’t stand this!
i was looking for the cartoon version and stumbled upon this piece of gold
Great stuff... True Art. And just imagine, in 1959 ( when I was an infant ) many of those old 1930s model automobiles were *still around!* Did not realize Lucy was a part of this..
Lucy also gave the green light to "Star Trek".
One of the best tv series ever made, along with 'Hawaiian Eye' and "Combat"...
1OO % TRUE GREAT SERIES PRODYCTIONS AND ACTORS.
I LOVE THIS ONE!
Watching on tv now comes on every Sunday on H&I.....
Me too
Grew up watching this with my dad 60's
Thirty years later they rebooted THE UNTOUCHABLES and made CRIME STORY.
Quality Television !!
Where are all these people now,.. This is more than 40 yrs before my time 🤞
it's ancient but good and worth a re run, better than todays bilge.
Then you clearly don't watch much or have varied tastes.
Your comment of "bilge" really got me. I bet I laughed for a full minute before I could type.
@@SavageBroadcast -TV today SUCKS, and only tards like it. I guess that means you're a tard.
He sure had the right voice for that part. Time for them to rerun these shows
It still comes on like 3 am weekends on MeTV.
The ENTIRE SERIES is available on DVD !!

@@mrExcellent101 "The year was 1930. A decade has passed since prohibition became law and the country went dry". Rich Little did an impersonation of Walter Winchell.
I Got Season I & II on DVD. You Can Get It Too.
Love the cover art.
Yeah .I Want the Poster so I can Frame It. (smile)
1960 to 2017, nothings changed.
Stack & Gordon were the Bosses.
I love watching the untouchables
In the 70s when I was a young lad (oh how time fly's) I would look at the TV guide and see what time it was on, usually on Wednesday about 11:30pm sometime 11:45 on ITV. Back then the TV would shut down about midnight. Well I would wait until my parents where in bed and I could sneak down stairs trying to avoid them two creeking steps. TV on and wait for it to start and with no adverts unlike today 3mins of program and 8 mins of advertising. Robert stack is the only Elliott Ness I liked. Great true stories and learned a bit of some history about the real gangsters on that time. 👍😁 Would like to watch them all again.🙏🤓👍
J Hunter,
Look for H&I TV (Heros and Icons TV) on cable. They have other great shows like Combat and Monk. I'm pretty much glued to this channel all day.
. Happy viewing 😀!
You can also get H&I with an antenna.
Most POWERFUL , DYNAMIC TELEVISION SERIES EVER !!
Influenced numerous crime/police series on television for many decades after: Hawaii Five-O, S.W.A.T. Crime Story, The FBI, The Hat Squad, Strike Force , The Untouchables 1990's series, and numerous others.
Yes I agree but the original episodes, the original "Pilot" series that reflected the 1929 stories, you cannot get ,and I do definitely remember other episode other that the standard 1-4 box set ...that were much more violent in content, I believe they were banned …,But they were the best episodes I believe..
@@peterfaulds8597 If you get : The UNTOUCHABLES: THE COMPLETE SERIES DVD COLLECTION, you will automatically get the 2 hour pilot,"THE UNTOUCHABLES: THE SCARFACE MOB"...or, you can now buy that pilot movie SEPARATELY.

I loved that show.
The greatest cop show ever made.
There would be no “The Sopranos” without the influence “The Untouchables” had on David Chase.. and that’s a fact!
Memories of those darkened days on two wheels.
in my opinion 1 of the finest TV series ever made I was living in Bay City, Tx in 59 when this series 1st appeared and we would watch on a black and white 19 inch TV during family hour what awesome memories.
Yes I agree ,along with ,have you seen ? "Hawaiian Eye" 1959 series and "Combat " with Vic Morrow, he owns this role...
Elliot Ness went on to host unsolved mysteries
Stack also played a reporter on "The Name of the Game".
And fight the Decepticons in Transformers The Movie as Ultra Magnus!

Wish this series was available for sale
They had a box series with all the episodes
"Nah, Nah, You dirty Copper" You'll never take me out alive!"
I must admit, I was expecting a Rick Dalton credit.
Hey, Sean Connery could’ve been in this show, he would’ve been 29 at time. Nice.
ROBERT STACK OWNS THIS ROLE !!! (Kevin WHO ??)
I agree. Could not have been a better actor to play the. The Untouchables was, among many others at the time, one of our favourite Tv shows. Our Mum did not like us watching it, but our Dad used to like it to and we were a bit older at the time The Untouchables aired.
Stack also knew how to shoot a gun!
Not fair you compare tv show to movie. Movie was a different material then the tv show.
best then ever.
I watch this show on every Monday at midnight at 2am on MeTV just to see him get those violent people over doing bad stuff that becoming an agent in the 1930s. It is way better than Adventures In Paradise (1959-1962), My Mother The Car (1965-1966), Tales Of Terror (1962), and stupidity The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis (1959-1963).

I was a kid when "Dobie Gillis" was on, and I loved it! - my fav was Maynard G. Krebbs ('WORK!'). 😄
They just don't make 'em like they did when this was done. Robert Stack looked so menacing as he enforced something that was so wrong on so many levels.
Peter Taylor Here in San Antonio they recently removed this show from “mtv”-- I agree with you-- the series showed too much truth & justice--the lefties just couldn’t stand it!
@@uglyturnips2813
That really sucks! We (are still) getting the show in New England on H&I tv. So far, so good...
MUCH MUCH BETTER SERIES IN THOSE YRARS CLOSER TO REALITY OF THAT TIME AND EXCELLENT NARRATORS AND ACTORS.
0:28 -- Enos! You dipstick! Ya done scuffed our vehicle!!
Les Lampson is the announcer during the opening. What a voice.
wrong... it's actually walter winchell
Narrator was Walter Winchell
Winchell narrated the actual EPISODES, But LES LAMPSON was the series announcer, Who said “THE UNTOUCHABLES…A DESILU PRODUCTION “, and also it was he who named the Guest Stars for each episode. It was also Les LAMPSON who announced the NAME of Each Episode ,and the NAME of Series Star, ROBERT STACK as ELIOT NESS.
Walter Winchell.
I’m gonna get you, Beer Baron.
- My favorite T.V. show besides ......
"The Twilight Zone"
& "Mannix".!!!!!
"Mannix" was, and is, totally underated. Used to love to watch him get beaned on the head, then get 'rescued' by his lovely secretary, Gail Fisher.
(Fun fact: Mike Conners stared in an episode of "The Untouchables" today.)
The thumbnail looks as though it could've been done by steve ditko .
bruce gordon perfect tv gangster
- That's for sure as I can't and won't argue with that one!!!
Al was one solid Guy
I loved The show, but I had always wondered was 1930s Chicago as lawless and wild as any 1800s Far West town? Was not the tv show ( and Brian de Palma 's 1980s movie) over The top deppicting the streets as dangerous of any European battlefields of the Great War , which was still fresh in the memmory of that generation....?
Frank Nitti was a meanie. He got his rewards. Very bitter and gruesome to say the lesst..
No full episodes available?
This serious was in my opinion unfairly accused of being racist against Italians. In fact the series frequently had Jewish gangsters, Irish gangsters etc, Bugs Moran was actually born to French-Canadian parents and changed his name. It never once claimed all gangsters were Italian or all Italians were gangsters in fact most of the victims of the Italian mobsters were other Italians. Which BTW is normal. Ethnic groups mostly commit crimes against their own.
The only time the word "Mafia" was ever used was in an episode I think must have been especially written to tweek the critics as Ness said it every chance he could. Never had before and never did after. They killed off an agent so they could replace him with an Italian actor playing an Italian character. In reality Eliot Ness only lost one agent in the line of duty.
There are many actors as gangsters and victimes probably better know for their later comedy parts, for example future cast members of Gilligan's Island and Bewtiched (it was weird seeing Samantha dating her husband's boss) . Also star of both radio and TV versions of The Life of Riley made a scary gangster. Just proves a good actor is a good actor,
I seen my hat today one out of plenty! thee paper towel BABY
Jesus still lovrd you.
RICO!
ΠΡΟΒΛΗΘΗΚΕ ΚΑΙ ΑΠΟ ΤΟ ΡΙΚ ΤΗ ΔΕΚΑΕΤΙΑ ΤΟΥ 1960 ΤΟ ΘΥΜΑΜΑΙ...
Was this filmed in Chicago?
Les Lampson doing the VO for the intro.
Where Can I Find a Poster of "The Untouchables"? I Want to Frame It.
What happened to the very first episode . I believe they were banned . I have all the available box set episodes 1-4, but still I can remember many more that were more violent in content episode reflecting 1929 stories. Peter Falk ,was is a few episodes ,but the one that he was in that I remember the most was the one where he was a chopper craised assassin , where is this one in the box set ?
Muito bom
What is the name of the announcer who introduces the show and says narrated by Walter Winchell? And why is he not credited?
I'm in desperate need of a October release 1961 of Tittle "Power Play" can anyone help me..ASAP!!!!
it would of been nice if the 1987 movie was more like the tv show also they could of got better actor than kevin Costner to play ness
they had a remake TV series after that movie in color the actor that played Ness was good a Jimmy Stewart type
I think they were trying to match actors and Kev. Costner looked rather like Robert Stack. Can;t say if it was a good choice as I didn't see the film.
The filmmakers wanted to go in a different direction than the tv version.I posted elsewhere that Mr.Stack liked the movie & liked the way Kevin's take on Ness was more human.Ironically Robert & Kevin spoke about it & Kevin wished his Ness was more agressive/gung ho like Stacks for the film.I enjoyed the short lived 2nd version of the show.They made William Forsythe's Al Capone more human than Neville Brand's take in the 1st version.
Lamont Burton I remember the new untouchables. It was good.
hey shady lady? or am i Shabby Sheik too?
What about thé rest of That film,,,,,,,,,,, 👿
Guy at 0:24 kinda looks like Jon Bernthal right there lol
0:57 Dick Foran the actor that ruined his own career according to Richard Lamparski
False advertising. You don't have the full episodes of this series. Bullshit
