It's a shame that a man who was once considered a national hero should be forgotten and even vilified because of a series of misfortunes that were largely not his fault. I'm thankful that he finally received the recognition that he had earned earlier in his life. Thank you for telling us of a positive ending to a once tragic story (not the Hollywood version).

I'm very glad you enjoyed it. I admire people, such as Mr. Ness, who put their own lives and personal safety on the line to do what's right. :)

When you first asked us who WE thought of when hearing the name Elliot Ness, I saw that poster ad of Kevin Costner and thought: "No. In my mind there is someone who dates further back in time." Then you showed Robert Stack, and I knew immediately that that was who I was thinking of. Now I will try to conjure up the face of the REAL Mr. Ness. Thanks, Brad.

Thank you. As a preacher I like to look at these Paul Harvey materials looking for possible sermon ideas. Well this one not only did but it reinspired a series of messages that I preached years ago when I pastored a church in Rappahannock County, VA back in the 1990's. It was a series of messages dealing with Bible Characters who started out well but finished bad. Characters such as King Saul Asa Uzziah Judas Iscariot Demas And others. I plan to start the first message by telling about how Elliot Ness a hero in many people's eyes didn't finish the way he started. So that is what watching this morning inspired me to do. To redo my outline of a series of messages I preached about 30 years ago, SAD ENDINGS. Thank you very much!

I'm very glad to hear that you found it inspirational and useful in your sermon research. I bet those were powerful sermons. They sound interesting. I'm sure this one your working on will turn out well. :)

I first learned of Elliot Ness from the Robert Stack/Desilu TV series, which was in syndication when I was growing up in the 1960s. I saw his memoir ("The Untouchables") in my local library, and I eagerly read it. I trusted it as the "authoritative" story of Ness and his team, which made me realize that the TV series was essentially all fiction. Because I'd read the book, I was disgusted by the Kevin Kostner movie, which was also essentially all fiction. Since then, I've come to understand that some people have disputed the accuracy of the book - certainly Ness might have had an incentive to bend the story to enhance his own reputation. But thanks for filling in more of "the rest of the story."

Oh yeah. The Kevin Costner was almost all fiction but I enjoyed it despite that. Like you learned, you have to be careful with autobiographies. They certainly give you a good perspective on someone but they can tell their story any way they want. They still have their place. I'm glad you enjoyed the episode. :)

Thank you very much for explaining the rest of the rest of the story. My question is why late Paul Harvey always left his stories unfinished.

That's so weird because in the movie, they portray him as new to Chicago, with Sean Connery's character teaching him the ropes. Great story, Brad.

😂😂😂😂😂😂I am probably the LAST person you have to explain Desilu Studios to, that was so cute. I am with you about conjuring the image of Kevin Costner when I think about Ness. I went down a long, dark road myself, very glad to be back on a path of light where I intend to stay for the rest of my days. To have such notoriety, then fade to obscurity, that is so sad. It is a story often repeated, especially from celebrities. Thank goodness Rebecca was the person she was, one of God's earthly angels.
