Public Servant Number 1 | Scenes from The Untouchables

📺 Read our episode review and breakdown here: https://theuntouchables.co/the-waxey-... Nehemiah Persoff absolutely menaces his way through the hour as Waxey Gordon in his return to the series. Based on the real-life hoodlum Waxey Gordon, screenwriter Joseph Petracca uses the character to establish Ness’ neverending war against a rogues gallery of garish Public Enemies and Persoff relishes the occasion with aplomb. “Bob Stack was really Eliot Ness. He had the qualities of a detective. It almost irritated me. I wanted to hit him,” Persoff wryly recalled in a 2019 interview for The Untouchables Retrospective. Persoff channels this playful indignance in the hour’s most memorable scene, where Gordon and Ness square off amidst a bribery attempt. The scene is a masterclass not only in acting, writing and directing, but into Desilu’s Untouchables lore, forging in stone that not only is Eliot Ness untouchable, but he is also immovable – and he will slap you around the room if you cross the line. This scene also encapsulates just how Robert Stack’s seething, understated approach to the character of Eliot Ness burned brightest when paired with monologuing, soliloquizing foes. THE WAXEY GORDON STORY Written by Joseph Petracca Directed by John Peyser Directed by Walter E. Grauman Produced by Josef Shaftel Director of Photography Charles Straumer Co-starring Frank De Kova. Special Guest Star Nehemiah Persoff. Featuring Elizabeth Hush, Terry Huntington, Sam Gilman, Adam Becker, Walter Reed, Edgar Stehli.
