Facts about The St. Valentine's Day Massacre
Average Shot Length = ~9.2 seconds. Median Shot Length = ~8.4 seconds.
Although most of the facts in the film are close to the truth, the only real deviation concerns the fate of Joe Aiello. While the movie does accurately portray Aiello aligning himself with George Moran and conspiring to kill Mafia chieftain Pasqualino "Patsy" Lolordo, he was not killed personally by Al Capone on a train (though Capone was known to kill when seized by a fit of personal rage). As shown in the film, Aiello, knowing he was marked for death by Capone, did arrange to have a cousin purchase a train ticket for him at the last minute so that he could skip town. However, he was killed by machine gunners from an apartment window opposite his apartment building as he was leaving to catch the train on October 23rd, 1930: A year and nine months after the massacre, not before.
The movie's mostly historical accuracy also includes some of the real words spoken by those involved in the massacre. Frank Guesenberg's dying answer to the police officer's inquiry really was, "Nobody shot me. Leave me alone". George Moran really did exclaim to a reporter, "Only Al Capone kills like that." Capone responded to the press: "Only Moran kills like that. I mean, they don't call that guy 'Bugs' for nothing!"
