Trivia
Susan Blakely's nude open crotch shot is reportedly one of the first instances of such a thing for a leading actress in a mainstream Hollywood film. It wouldn't be so graphically repeated until Sharon Stone's notorious scene in Basic Instinct (1992) 17 years later.

Goofs
Al Capone's scar was not caused by broken glass from a window, but by a knife wound in an argument with Frank Gallucio over a remark he made to Gallucio's sister Lena at the Harvard Inn on Coney Island in 1917.

Quotes
Capone: I'll crap on your grave, Weiss.

Crazy credits
Opening credits prologue: BROOKLYN MAY 6, 1918

Alternate versions
Most versions are missing an explicit nude scene by Susan Blakely, probably due to the fact that bootleg copies are sourced from TV prints.

Connections
Edited from L'Affaire Al Capone (1967)

The first muff shot in a movie by a major studio.

Very few people remember this film (why is beyond me, it is one of the better acted gangster films--Even Sly Stallone does a decent job). But to the few of us that really remember this, it is because of a relatively unknown actress called Susan Blakely.

This is the first time from a major motion picture studio that an actress spread her legs (while completely nude, by the way) and showed us her very blond "Delta of Venus"--absolute motion picture history that, unfortunately should have catapulted her to the Sharon Stone level, but didn't.

I had to order from Great Britain and convert it from PAL to NTSC, but it was worth it!

Thanks forever, Susan!
