Dillinger
Under discussion:
Dillinger
(1945)
Dillinger
(1945) is a B-movie from start to finish. So some studio guy said write a script about The Lady in Red, but the script writer said it really had to be about her man, John Dillinger. Although a lot of studios had signed an agreement not to make gangster films, this small studio had not. Well, they wanted to put in this aging studio star as the notorious gangster Dillinger, but when the dust settled they went with a quiet young guy who’d been hanging around the office, Lawrence Tierney, and Tierney had the menace to make the character convincing even though the script didn’t bother to follow the factual details of Dillinger’s life.
