|'''Jimmy Malone''' ([[Sean Connery]])}}
A live action television series aired between 1959 and 1963 based on the exploits of ([[Real Life]]) [[The Roaring Twenties|1920s]] Chicago Prohibition agent Eliot Ness and his group of loyal agents, nicknamed "The Untouchables" because of their refusal to be bribed by the Mob as many others were at the time. Most notable for pursuing bootleggers and gangster [[Al Capone]] (and eventually arresting him--[[Justice by Other Legal Means|on tax evasion charges]]!) Later adapted as a movie in 1987, directed by [[Brian De Palma]] and written by [[David Mamet]]. It starred [[Kevin Costner]], [[Sean Connery]] and [[Robert De Niro]]. The film itself inspired a second television series in 1993, with Tom Amandes.
