Movie "The Untouchables" what was the song?

Question

Hi. I just watched the film (last night) The Untouchables and I was wondering if anyone knew the name of the song that is sung at the opera after Sean Connery's character was killed. And also does anyone remember the character/actor's name of "the man in white" the mean looking skinny guy? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

...the opera piece you're looking for, is a rather moving piece of theatrical work, entitled "Vesti la giubba", an aria from the classic operetta work, "Pagliacci".

Character actor Billy Drago, who most definitely has the looks and reputation for taking on mostly familiar villainous roles, almost steals the show, in his performance as notorious mob assassin Frank Nitti, in this film.
