I heard that Elliot Ness was an alchoolic and a womanizer, and that he was a huge peice of crap compared to how the movie portrayed him

The Untouchables movie is in large part fiction. About some of the only factual parts of the movie were the fact that Elliot Ness, Frank Nitti, and Al Capone existed and Elliot Ness was trying to put Capone away.
With that said, it's cool to go by some of the places where they filmed the movie. Every Sunday night when I took the train back from visiting my fiance (now wife) in Bloomington, IL, I'd walk up the stairs at Union Station.
The bar in the opening of the movie has changed a lot. It is now covered with rusting metal plates and is now called the Twisted Spoke. It's at the corner of Clark and Roscoe under the 'L'.
I came, I saw, I had no idea what was going on, I left.

Frank Nitti was a good shot. thats one of the pictures that is shown in the godfather when the five family war begins
