	DILLINGER (1945) - DVD
		Lawrence Tierney is to heavies as Marilyn Monroe is to bombshells and Casablanca is to the movies themselves--that is to say, a conglomerate of all that have ever existed.
		Tierney's Dillinger is unlikeable and dumb, which is a retroactive watering-down of his monstrous and slightly senile Joe from Reservoir Dogs.
		John Dillinger's bank robberies of the 1930s are a ripe topic in that the public wasn't terribly outraged by them.

	Dillinger (1945)
		Dillinger, Oscar-nominated for its screenplay, is the bullet-paced story of the man whose crimes captivated and terrified the nation.
		How much of Dillinger connects with historical reality remains to be seen, but frankly, I can’t say this issue matters much to me. 1973’s Dillinger almost certainly presents a more accurate portrayal of the gangster’s life, but it lacks many other positive attributes.
		Dillinger appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	dOc DVD Review: Dillinger (1945) - Printable
		Maybe it's the economics of filmmaking these days, or maybe it's the proliferation of seemingly infinite TV movies of the week, but the good old-fashioned pulpy B picture is a thing of the past, and that's a shame, because at their best, these were some great fun times at the movies.
		Dillinger exemplifies the spirit of those pictures—it's not a gangster picture of the first order, and was clearly made on the cheap; its running time is just over an hour, making it feel more like a ruthlessly efficient one-hour episode of a favorite series than like a full-boat feature.
		John Dillinger is one of the legendary figures in American crime; this isn't a grand telling of his life, but it's a classic crime movie in lots of ways.

	Dillinger
		Dillinger jokes around with the jail staff saying that "Ain't no jail will hold me; it's an exercise in futility." And Dillinger does escape by the now famous method of whittling a gun from a bar of soap and flening it with shoe polish.
		As Dillinger exits the local Biograph Theatre with the prostitute Polly on one arm and Anna Sage on the other, the F.B.I jumps him and Purvis kills Dillinger.
		The movie is entertaining, but from an historical point of view, they greatly exaggerated the high points.

		The film "Dillinger" charts the rise and fall of notorious gangster John Dillinger.
		Dillinger's involvement with Baby Face Nelson, for example, is not mentioned once, but that is probably due to the fact that we are supposed to concentrate on the story of Dillinger and not suffer distraction with the crimes of another notorious gangster.
		Dillinger is released and then plans a bold jailbreak for the rest of the gang.

		The movie itself is more of an old-fashioned gangster movie (similar to the ones in the Warner Gangster Collection) than a true noir movie, but it is nonetheless good, though too much the B movie to be great.
		Although the use of lighting and dialogue is noirish, this movie is not film noir but rather a soap opera with a romantic triangle of Barbara Stanwyck as the woman with the past, Paul Douglas as her benevolent but rather simple husband and Robert Ryan as the callous friend who insinuates himself into her life.
		Dillinger is a great example of how skimpy budgets helped create the look of what would come to be known as film noir.

		While this isn't a very accurate account of Dillinger's life, the main elements are there, especially the mysterious "lady in red" who betrays Dillinger to the police.
		In his first starring role, Lawrence Tierney acquits himself well as Dillinger; and lovely Anne Jeffreys (although anachronistic in her 1940's fashions and hairstyle) turns in a fine performance as his treacherous moll.
		The DVD includes a serviceable audio commentary by John Milius, director of the 1973 "Dillinger"; his sometimes meandering remarks are intercut with old excerpts of an interview with screenwriter Yordan.

		Dillinger, the was the ninth effort from the enterprising King Brothers, and their most financially successful film to date.
		The film traces Dillinger's criminal career from his first petty theft to his spectacular 1934 demise outside Chicago's Biograph Theater (incidentally, this film was banned in Chicago for several years).
		The film's set piece is an elaborate armored-car holdup, lifted in its entirety from footage originally shot for Fritz Lang's You Only Live Once (1937).

	Reviews for Dillinger on MSN Movies
		" Max Nosseck's Dillinger (1945) was made on a shoestring budget, far lower than the money allocated for John Milius' 1973 remake, yet it still retains a high reputation, mostly thanks to its noir-ish elements and the intensity of Lawrence Tierney's performance in the title role.
		Tierney is a dominating presence in this movie and pretty well carries the film, overcoming some obvious gaps in the budget and holes in the script; his eyes have a scary look, and his sheer attractiveness makes him a scary, savage presence.
		The rest of the movie works mostly because of its threadbare nature; if the director hadn't been hemmed in by a low budget, he might well have tried to elaborate scenes that work all the better because they're made of quick cuts and have minimal (or no) dialogue.

		This film is about the real life bank robber John Dillinger who is arguably the most notorious robber in the history of American and earned the nickname "Public Enemy #1".
		It's probably less factual than the film version of John Dillinger's exploits that director John Milius made in the seventies.
