Al's Lads (released in the United States as Capone's Boys) is a 2002 British crime drama film directed by Richard Standeven and starring Marc Warren, Ralf Little and Al Sapienza.
I was told a story by a gentleman called Leo White and after doing some research, found to be true (though I never doubted it- Scousers get everywhere don't they!)
Subsequently Vic Gibson wrote an article in the Liverpool Echo- the response was both dramatic and energising.
I received letters and phone calls from people scattered throughout the Merseyside area, confirming that their Great Uncles or Grandfathers were Al Capone's bodyguards or bootleggers.
This confirmation of authenticity led me to pen the story and with the addition of a little artistic licence, to develop the musical play-"Al's Lads" This article related to a British film of the 2000s is a stub.
