RE: Dillinger was aware of his "celebrity status" + played up to it

Posted by chazro@charter.net on January 22, 2010 at 12:16:33:
There wasn't a trace of 'Public Enemies' in Public Enemies. 'Public Enemies' was a book (that I read) detailing the infamous timeframe in which the outlaws Dillinger, Nelson, Floyd, the Barkers, and Bonnie & Clyde thrived in. The premise of the book that I found interesting was that these criminals lived and thrived in what was surprisingly, a very short timeframe. Although having read many books about these guys, for whatever reason, I never put together the reality that they only existed for a very short time. More interesting to counterpoint the fact that the TRUE gangsters, names like Luciano, Genovese, Bonanno, etc. flew largely under the radar in no small part, thanks to the cowboy-hick antics of the Public Enemies. I was hoping to see THIS story on the screen and was really dissapointed, as I love a good Mob movie!
