In Reply to: Warren Oates movie "Dillinger", anyone seen it? posted by grinagog on March 1, 2004 at 23:27:58:
Not a great film but a very good low budget effort. Oates is just fine as Dillinger. Ben Johnson is fine as Melvin Purvis if one overlooks the fact that the real Purvis was only about 30 when he killed Dillinger while Johnson was in his 60s when he played Purvis. Still, most people don't know that so it isn't that important.Oates is always worth watching.
