Named after the event itself, St. Valentine’s Day Massacre chronicles the Chicago gangster wars of the 1920s. The terrible true-life events of February 14, 1929 thrust gangster Al Capone into the national spotlight, but marked the beginning of the end of Chicago's criminal empire. Rival Chicago mobsters Al Capone and Bugs Moran battle for control of the city’s crime element - which leads to a bloody showdown in which Capone’s men, dressed as policeman, kill seven key members of Moran’s gang in a warehouse. Jack Nicholson makes a cameo appearance in what is one of his first screen roles.

Richard Whitehall

The carefully stylized violence and reconstruction of that era comes off very well.

At the end of this nonsense, to be sure, there is a massacre to brighten things up a little. But then the pall sets in again.

It's a cool, violent film, romantic in a disciplined, disenchanted way about its battling gangsters.

Corman is adept at creating human moments between the plot points, reminding us of the little guys caught up in the war and the human cost of the violence...

Roger Corman's rat-tat-tat helming is one of the strengths of this crime flick ... What damages the picture are the performances by the two top-billed stars, Jason Robards and George Segal.
