Wiki.
Capone is a 1975 American biographical crime film directed by Steve Carver and produced by Roger Corman, based on the life of notorious 20th-century gangster Al Capone. It stars Ben Gazzara in the title role, along with Harry Guardino, Susan Blakely, John Cassavetes, and Sylvester Stallone in an early film appearance.
Corman had previously directed The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967), which also had a screenplay written by Howard Browne and starred Jason Robards as Capone. Though the film was promoted as a faithful reenactment of Capone’s life, it takes many artistic liberties. Among other embellishments, the film makes no mention of Capone’s wife and daughter, while giving him a (fictional) love interest in Susan Blakely’s Iris Crawford. The film also depicts Frank Nitti (played by Stallone) eulogizing Capone in his funeral, when in fact Capone outlived Nitti by several years.
The film was released by 20th Century Fox on April 6, 1975. It received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, though it was a commercial success.
