The Untouchables: The Masterpiece (1961)
Season 2, Episode 14
7/10
Paranoia would be his undoing...
29 February 2016
Most of the episodes of "The Untouchables" are available to watch on YouTube. Oddly, however, this one is available but nearly unwatchable because the picture is badly scrambled. So, you'll either have to catch this one on television, get it from Netflix or buy the season two set yourself.

This show is about a very thorough and paranoid mob boss, Mayer Wartel (Robert Middleton). He's also a bit predictable. This is because he has a one of a kind handmade masterpiece of a gun and it's his signature...and Ness needs to find it in order to pin murders on him. However, the man who can link Wartel to his crimes is also a man Wartel is planning on having killed by a top assassin (Rip Torn). Can Ness prevent this killing and, if not, how can they possibly catch Wartel?

This is a decent episode about how a man's paranoia can be his undoing. Like so many episodes in the series, Ness really doesn't need to do much...just let the thugs kill each other! Worth seeing...if you can find a good copy.
