Comments:
I
liked it. I first saw this film on TV and with the
commercial breaks, it suffered. However, I later saw
it without the commercials and it's so much better.
It's the story of Gangster John Dillenger and his
last girlfriend. Pamela Sue Martin as the moll and
Robert Conrad as Dillenger both deliver great performances.
I don't know much about John Dillenger, but I wonder
if he was as "gentlemanly" as Conrads' portrayal
was. Just a thought! However, it is a strong story,
with enough violence to be realistic (those were violent
times). There's also the romantic element that gives
a softness to Dillenger. As I said, I wonder if he
was a romantic at all. Anyway, a decent enough flick
and well-acted.
