Beaux-Arts interiors and civic façades turn Prohibition history into operatic crime cinema.
The Untouchables uses civic and commercial Chicago as Prohibition spectacle. Choose Chicago identifies the Board of Trade, Michigan Avenue Bridge, Union Station, the Rookery and Auditorium Theatre as production locations. This route now follows those supported relationships and removes unrelated landmarks that had entered through a generic city list.
