As Turnball stated, the film bares little resemblence with reality(other than the fact that there was a bootlegger called Al Capone, and Elliot Ness got him sent to jail for tax evasion).
For the record: I said that Ness had nothing to do with sending Capone to prison for tax evasion. Elmer Irey, a IRS investigator, did the job.
