- 📺 Read our episode review and breakdown here: theuntouchable...
In a rare hard-boiled monologue from the otherwise taciturn Eliot Ness, he dresses Frank O’Dean down despite being held at gunpoint. An engrossing, action-packed hour filled with great performances by Robert Stack and Harry Guardino, "One-Armed Bandits" is also one of the program’s most successful endeavors at humanizing Ness and adding shades of gray to its heavies. O’Dean is remorseful and conflicted and Ness is charitable and compassionate without losing his edge. The sense of history between Ness and O’Dean is well characterized and supporting characters like Julian Glass add to pathos to the proceedings.

Verbal martial arts! 😉
As a kid, I used to watch The Untouchables sitting next to my Dad in his 30's, worn out, overstuffed armchair. One day my mother got the bright idea of having it reupholstered without his permission. He never sat in it again.
Nowadays people believe children shouldn't watch stuff like this.
poor guy
One might say the chair was, untouchable.
@@finch1763 lol
Now that comment of your Dad's armchair here could be stuff of Film Noir!.. Just realised that sir how about you? 🍷Heck of a good story and relatable if i may add. 😜
I love Robert Stack!!😍😘👌

That role fit him like a glove
"You know, for some reason, I don’t know why I thought there was something more to you. There isn’t You’re just like every other hoodlum in those files over there. All they want out of life is a $100 dollar suit and a roll of bills in their pocket. You give any of them something longer than a menu to read and they’d be lost. You talk to them about God or country, friendship, love family. They don’t even know what you’re talking about. All they got is their guns. No hearts, no guts, just guns. If they had anything else, anything, they’d know that whatever you get from that roll of bills in your pocket, you give 20 times as much, right down to your soul. Did you ever have a family, Frank? A wife? Child? Maybe that’s what it takes to have a soul. Or maybe you haven’t got a soul. Maybe you never had one." Revisit this great episode with us here: theuntouchables.co/one-armed-bandits/
Stack and Guardino!
A masterclass in actoring!
@@johnnynoirman we agree! We're looking forward to celebrating Guardino's subsequent Untouchables work in "The Nick Moses Story" and "The Contract."
I met Harry Guardino. We discussed this episode and The Nick Moses Story and Dirty Harry. He was a great guy.

No one can touch Robert Stack in this role, he made it his
This was one of my very favorite tv shows ever.but they could never make it today,at least how they made it back then
1:44 Now that's a great line.
Great writing ✍ makes all the difference ...protect your writers
Please tell that to Disney and WB. They need to figure that out before they drown in red ink.
@@silverhammer7779 it's all coming down my friend 🕊🐑🐣
@@MapleSyrupPoet I do see signs and portents...and there is hope yet for the future of the culture
@@silverhammer7779 no hope ...trust me ...not even Bob Hope ...that's the Dope ...down goes the pope 👏
Unsolved Mysteries S3E19 Robert Stack said "when I played Elliot Ness" ... i was like WHAT! So I came here to see.
Stack portrayed "seething" Eliot Ness well ... as a federal man, he isn't free to lash out at the criminals, unless they make the first move. Even when it's clear he'd like to drop them.
There is a flair here missing today

Today's actors mumble and whisper their dialogue.
'Do you know what its like to be kicked in the head with an iron boot? Course not, stupid question!'

Harry Guaradino Great Actor THIS tv Seiris. WAS BANG ON !!!g
“Get me Rex Kramer!”
The greatest TV show ever made andbarrettatoo
nice clip... you mentioned "...adding shades of gray to its heavies"... ha, that was far and few between for sure, not much shades of anything but ruthlessness from the many badguys in the series (with wally legenza being the worst)
Thanks for reading!
