Jimmy Malone

James "Jimmy" Malone was an Irish-American police officer of the 20th century. After serving as a beat cop with the Chicago Police Department for decades, Malone's continued honesty was recognised by newcomer Eliot Ness, who enlisted him in his war against Al Capone. Malone's brutal, old-fashioned tactics and sage advice brought results, and Capone eventually ordered his execution. Malone was gunned down outside his home by Frank Nitti, though he managed to give Ness one final clue before expiring.

===Reception===
*Roger Ebert cited Connery's performance as the best in the film, stating "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."The Untouchables - Roger Ebert - 3 June 1987 - RogerEbert.com - Retrieved 26 August 2024
