Orson Welles was originally picked by director Roger Corman to play Al Capone, while Jason Robards, Jr. was to play George "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.
