If I am looking for a tough bank robber, I could not find a better one than Warren Oates. His portrayal of John Dillinger was spot on. He has the gangster look; no baby face for him.
The question throughout was whether Dillinger was the most self-absorbed or was it Melvin Purvis (Ben Johnson), the man who smoked 50 cent Montecristos while he chased Dillinger and others. 50 cents in 1933 was a lot of money for a cigar! Lots of shooting and lots of blood in this film that also featured singer Michelle Phillips, Cloris Leachman, Geoffrey Lewis, and Richard Dreyfuss.
There are a lot of laughs in the film, too. It was a good story that kept you interested until the end.
