The Untouchables: Death for Sale (1961)

Theatrical Release Information  |  See Details About All Versions

After his legitimate business goes bust, former drug king Phil Melnick (Lou Polan) returns to his old opium-dealing racket. This time, however, Melnick has taken a partner: 19-year-old Johnny Lubin (James MacArthur), who hopes to be a millionaire before his 20th birthday--and who is willing to kill anyone who impedes his progress. Even the Mob finds the baby-faced Johnny too hard too handle. . .but Elliot Ness (Robert Stack) is not so easily daunted. Appearing as a debutante who becomes Johnny's unwitting drug courier is actress Carol Eastman, who under the nom de plume of Adrien Joyce would write the screenplay for the 1971 film Five Easy Pieces. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
