The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967) ***1/2

The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967) is a pulpy, bloody and mostly accurate portrayal of the events leading up to the real life massacre. The direction, camerawork, production design and costumes are all impressive, especially considering the budget that Roger Corman had to work with. The cast are all great, though Jason Robards is a bit too theatrical as Al Capone. Overall an engaging treat for gangster fans.
