Le tueur de Chicago

Could this one of those films (or TV shows or made-for-TV movies) that was intense and dramatic when you first watched it as a kid....but now looks tame and wasn't as good as you remembered? Or was this TV-movie simply not up to standards of the weekly show? Hopefully, the latter because I have fond memories of the show.

Growing up, I never missed an episode of the "The Untouchable" on TV and thought it was the greatest. I am still anxiously awaiting someone to put the show on DVD.

However, even though it was fun to see Robert Stack playing Elliot Ness once again; Neville Brand as the tough Al Capone and Barbara Nichols playing a dumb blonde, all of it was just didn't have the impact anymore....or at least in this movie.

The problem was that the story moved too slowly. You can't do that today, especially in crime movies. The only "crime" is having a film that drags.
