Summary |
From 1933 to 1934, America was thrilled and terrorised by John Dillinger, a desperado bank robber that no jail could hold. His reputation grew until he was named the country's first Public Enemy No. 1. Operating during a time of great hardship, Dillinger became a mythic figure who struggled against authority and garnered the support of many ordinary Americans, particularly those hardest hit by the Great Depression. Dillinger finally met his match in J. Edgar Hoover, who used the outlaw's celebrity to burnish his own reputation and that of the FBI. (From the US) (Documentary) PG CC |
