Nitti-gritty

1: Da minuscule-but-abrasively-hurtful details dat Elliot Ness had to deal with in regards to Al Capone's right-hand-man henchman.
2. Da unpalatable and irritatingly-picky details regarding actual history of whether said smug sleazeball actually performed many of da entertainingly-memorable felonious actions portrayed in da 1987 "The Untouchables" film.

Da wildly-popular "war on liquor" gangster-drama starring Kevin Costner and Robert De Niro may indeed have been exciting and dramatic for its viewers, but if you get right down to da Nitti-gritty of it, da infamous "goon in a white suit" character played by Billy Drago apparently never personally performed hitman-style assassinations as depicted in said movie, nor was he actively involved in much if any actual killing, either.
