	The Untouchables (Oliver Mendelsohn, Marika Vicziany)
		Early organisation by Untouchables themselves was on a caste and regional basis, and relationships between different Untouchable castes were often difficult.
		Ambedkar, an Untouchable himself, developed a deeper analysis of Untouchability, but lacked a workable political strategy: his conversion to Buddhism in 1956, along with millions of followers, highlighted the failure of his political endeavours.
		Discrimination against Untouchables is still widespread in rural areas in the private sphere, in ritual matters such as access to eating places and water sources.

	The Untouchables
		The untouchables were not even included in the varnas which is the different groups of the caste, instead the untouchables were avarna or out castes.
		The untouchables were not even allowed to eat in the same room as someone of another caste because they would pollute that persons food, "The higher castes consider even the physical contact of an ‘untouchable’ with their food as polluting" (Anant 1972:73).
		As Singer and Cohn point out, "Untouchables who move into the white collar sector of the urban Indian society are more likely to try to hide their caste identity, to attempt to treat the question as if it were irrelevant, than to claim a false caste affiliation" (1968: 71).

		Untouchables are outcasts—people considered too impure, too polluted, to rank as worthy beings.
		Untouchables are shunned, insulted, banned from temples and higher caste homes, made to eat and drink from separate utensils in public places, and, in extreme but not uncommon cases, are raped, burned, lynched, and gunned down.
		First used in the context of caste oppression in the 19th century, it was popularized in the 1970s by Untouchable writers and members of the revolutionary Dalit Panthers (the name was inspired by the Black Panthers of the United States).

		There is a moment in "The Untouchables" when a mobster doesn't want to talk to the law.
		It's a moment of quick, brutal improvisation, and it has an energy that's lacking during most of "The Untouchables." Here is a movie about an era when law enforcement resembled gang warfare, but the movie seems more interested in the era than in the war.
		Connery brings a human element to his character; he seems to have had an existence apart from the legend of the Untouchables, and when he's onscreen we can believe, briefly, that the Prohibition Era was inhabited by people, not caricatures.

		Airing on ABC from 1959-63, the series was panned for what critics at the time deemed "excessive and senseless violence." But it was enormously popular with audiences and made names for producer Quinn Martin and actor Robert Stack.
		The series centered on a greatly embellished version of the real life Eliot Ness, played by Robert Stack, and his incorruptible treasury agents whom Chicago newspapers had dubbed "The Untouchables." Their battles against organized crime served as the source material for the television series.
		While the fictional Ness and his Untouchables were somewhat lifeless characters, the back-stories and motivations established for the series' criminals were incredibly well-defined.

	The Untouchables
		The Untouchables was a triumph of the television crime/gangster genre produced at the high point of the U.S. film series drama in the early 1960s.
		The show was a watershed that set new standards for action drama and pioneered a more explicit approach to the representation of violence on television--a development that provoked controversy and acclaim in equal measure.
		Tise Vahimagi details the development of the gangster genre and places The Untouchables firmly in the wider context of American cinema and television of the 1950s and 1960s, offering a unique sidelight onto the social and political events of the period.

	India's "Untouchables" Face Violence, Discrimination
		India's Untouchables are relegated to the lowest jobs, and live in constant fear of being publicly humiliated, paraded naked, beaten, and raped with impunity by upper-caste Hindus seeking to keep them in their place.
		Despite the fact that untouchability was officially banned when India adopted its constitution in 1950, discrimination against Dalits remained so pervasive that in 1989 the government passed legislation known as The Prevention of Atrocities Act.
		The act specifically made it illegal to parade people naked through the streets, force them to eat feces, take away their land, foul their water, interfere with their right to vote, and burn down their homes.

	DVD Times - The Untouchables CE
		In The Untouchables the key emotional moments are delivered with as much power as the violent set-pieces and, in retrospect, it's that genuine rarity; a blockbuster with a brain, and even more refreshingly, a heart.
		The Untouchables was originally released in the UK three years ago on a disc without significant extra features.
		This Collectors Edition release is certainly worth considering if you don't own the film but the slight improvements to the transfer and the new extras aren't strong enough to wholeheartedly recommend a purchase if you're happy with the original release.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: The Untouchables
		Clout isn’t hiring hit men to off your worst enemy and toss him in a ditch; it’s buying drinks for a high school buddy who works at the county assessor’s office who just happens to find so many structural problems with your enemy’s grocery store that he’s forced to close shop and leave town.
		Those aren’t events in The Untouchables, but they echo the kind of emotional noise that David Mamet’s script makes – it’s a revenge fantasy for any person who wondered why they had to suck up to their alderman or local ward heeler just to get their trash picked up on time.
		De Palma, always brilliant with violence, escalates the bloodshed as the new team of “untouchables” starts to enjoy some success; in the only scene where De Niro really gets to show off, he lectures his cronies about loyalty as he carries a baseball bat before whacking the weak link in his Outfit but good.

	Barnes & Noble.com - The Untouchables -- Brian De Palma - DVD - Special Edition / Wide Screen / Subtitled
		The Prohibition-era reign of mob kingpin Al Capone is dramatized in The Untouchables, a colorful, stylishly violent drama graced with a superb script by David Mamet and flamboyantly directed by Brian De Palma (Scarface).
		Nominally based on the popular '60s TV show (and even more nominally on the bestselling memoir from which it was adapted), De Palma's film depicts Chicago during the Depression years as a booze-soaked, crime-ridden, hopelessly corrupt city held captive by vicious gangsters and crooked officials.
		Like the TV series that shared the same title, The Untouchables (1987) was an account of the battle between gangster Al Capone and lawman Eliot Ness, this time in the form of a feature film boasting big stars, a big budget, and a script from respected playwright David Mamet.

		The USA’s Italian community complained strongly that the series was ‘dragging their names through the mud’, in response to this charge, the producers added a disclaimer to the end of each show admitting that much of the action was fictional.
		Another reason for the show's success was the inspired decision to have veteran 30's and 40's "Voice of the Newsreels", Walter Winchell, as the series narrator.
		The series finally succumbed by the fourth season, to the toll taken on it by the myriad outside controversies which it had attracted and the resultant fall in ratings.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Untouchables [1987]: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		From a script by David Mamet, the film pits four underdog heroes (the maverick lawmen known as the Untouchables) against a singular villain in Al Capone, played by Robert De Niro as a dapper Caesar holding court (and a baseball bat) against any and all challengers.
		Kevin Costner is the naive federal agent Eliot Ness, whose lack of experience is tempered by the streetwise alliance of a seasoned Chicago cop (Sean Connery, in an Oscar-winning performance), a rookie marksman (Andy Garcia) and an accountant (Charles Martin Smith) who holds the key to Capone's potential downfall.
		This film is set in Chicago, during the prohibition, a time were mobsters had enormously increased their influence due to the contraband of alcohol.

	MovieMartyr.com - The Untouchables
		It’s no mistake that De Palma overloads his compositions with circular imagery, and even when he’s not doing that, his camera begins tracking in advance of the action, giving the subconscious effect that the camera knows what’s going to happen in advance, presumably because these events have happened before and will happen again.
		The circle of events that gives The Untouchables its moral quandary is made viscerally thrilling with this form.
		I imagine most bristle at this homage because they feel it fundamentally devalues the original’s serious intent, but with the realization that The Untouchables is a politically charged film itself, and not just a mindless parade of violence, those complaints fade away.
