The St. Valentine's Day Massacre Facts

Orson Welles was originally picked by director Roger Corman to play Al Capone, while Jason Robards was to play George Moran ("Bugs" Moran). Welles was willing, but Fox vetoed the deal, feeling Welles was "undirectable". Robards took over the role of Capone and Ralph Meeker was brought in to play Moran.
The real garage where the massacre took place (2122 N. Clark St, Chicago) was torn down three months after the movie was released.
When "Bugs" Moran is leaving his hotel, just before the massacre, the clerk stops him and says "You have a call from a Mr. Bernstein in Detroit". "Bernstein" was the last name of the four brothers - Abe, Joe, Ray and Izzy - who ran Detroit's murderous "Purple Gang". The real George Moran and Al Capone used the Bernsteins to hijack other gangsters' liquor shipments from Canada. This fact is evident later when Moran complains to his bodyguards about Bernstein jacking up the price.
More squib charges were used in this film than in the three-hour war epic The Longest Day.
This was Roger Corman's first directorial project for one of the major studios (Twentieth Century-Fox). After approximately 15 years experience as a producer/director of low budget productions, it was no surprise that Corman wrapped this production ahead of schedule and well under budget.
