There was a remake in the 90's, William Forsythe sp? was Al Capone. It was OK.

As for the movie I felt that was one of the best performances by Sean Connery ever. It played fast and loose with the truth, but that is Hollywood. Nitti didn't die, he shot himself years later to avoid jail in the Motion Pictures extrotion scandal. And Wilson, who did all the work to get Capone on income tax never worked with Ness.

Ness actually only busted up a few breweries and such and played no role in sending Capone to prison.
