Dillinger - The Ultimate Anti-hero

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2007

Verified Purchase

First and foremost I will get my complaints out of the way, as they are only small and petty. For the most part I can forgive the historical inaccuracies, but a few things need be mentioned.

Firstly, the portrayal of Baby Face Nelson is both good and atrocious. Nelson was his own man and didn't take crap from anybody. The scene where he first meets Dillinger is both wrong, and portrays Nelson as somewhat of a pussy. This was certainly not the case. Lester Gillis still holds the distinction of killing the most federal agents in history, along with the top ranked agent killed on duty (Samuel Cowley). Whining aside though, his death scene is reasonably accurate apart from the ommitance of John Paul Chase and the fact that it took him hours to slowly die.

Secondly, the gunning down of "Pretty Boy" Floyd is accurate right up until the point where he utters his last words. A man like Floyd would never utter the words "I'm glad it was you," (to Melvin Purvis). In fact, Floyd's dying words, upon being asked about the Kansas City Massacre were "Tell you nothing..."

Finally, Melvin Purvis was pretty much totally inept at his job. His propensity to screw up simple things continued to land him in hot water with Hoover. The portrayal of his character in this film is unfortunately very far from the truth. This is not to take away from the performance by Ben Johnson, which I must say is top notch.

Now. Warren Oates. Looks like Dillinger. Plays the egotistical, charasmatic gangster that Dillinger was to a T. Gotta love it and makes you wonder what happened to him after this role.

The shoot-outs are loud, violent, and pretty authentic, especially the one at Little Bohemia. I believe that the total ineptness that the FBI displayed in this battle has been well portrayed in the film.

The doggedness and persistence of the FBI is also well portrayed, let's not forget, that for the most part, these guys were called upon to take on the worst of the public enemies. Usually in prolonged gunfight. Lots of people may discount the FBI use of firepower as over the top, but I believe it to be wholly accurate. All you need to do is read any of the books concerning this part of history and you will understand what I'm talking about.

Lastly, mention must be made of the great lengths gone to to display the depression era as it was. The dusty mid-west, from small quaint towns to sand blown ranges and the authentic cars lend themselves very well to enhancing the effect. Couple this with some Tommy-guns and you have a winner.

By all means, If you like gangster movies, you can't go past this one. Never mind the historical inaccuracies and ommisions, this is a top notch. Hollywood before it went downhill!

Anyone interested in the real story of Dillinger, Nelson etc. should check out the various books available. I heartily recommend PUBLIC ENEMIES: AMERICA'S GREATEST CRIME WAVE AND THE BIRTH OF THE FBI 1933-1934 (BRYAN BURROUGH) and THE DILLINGER DAYS (JOHN TOLAND).

Historical Anecdote of the South Bend, Indiana Merchants' Bank robbery

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

First a couple quotes from sites:
At the same time, the three bandits who had been inside were walking out the front door with three hostages - Coen, Stahly and Bruce Bouchard, the youthful manager of the Radio Service Company situated several blocks away. Although his hands were raised, Bouchard thought he looked like a gangster because he had a cigarette in his mouth and he kept trying to spit it out, but it was stuck to his lower lip. Coen, standing just in front of him, would say later he wondered why one of the bandits kept spitting on the back of his head.
Bruce Bouchard, a local man who was grazed by two bullets during the robbery, insisted that Dillinger was not among the gang that robbed the bank. “I saw no one that looked anything like Dillinger while I was with the bandits,” Bouchard said in a 1934 Tribune interview. “And I have seen and studied enough pictures of him to know how he looks.”
Bouchard and several others were seized by the bandits and used as human shields as the gang fled the bank.
.....
Now as a personal note? Bruce Bouchard owned an electronics business that he ran for many decades. I got to know his son, Bill, also from South Bend decades ago. When Bruce passed his son inherited the old brick building and later sold it. I actually helped Bill remove some of the old items.
Bill later used the proceeds to purchase a tavern in Mishawaka, Indiana he called The Village Pump. The tavern became quite a popular place for singles to gather and my brother once played in the band which drew standing room only crowds on weekends. Bill Bouchard also had a balcony built at the back of the bar as the ceilings were tall enough to allow this and this seated many more customers.
The popular bar suffered a fire sometime in the early eighties and the building was demolished.
I have no idea what became of Bill over the years.

Dillinger (1973) 2-Disc Special Edition on DVD + Blu-Ray

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

Arrow Video released this 1973 version of "Dillinger" on both Blu-ray and a new DVD, having been released before on DVD by MGM in 2000, with the sole extra having been the theatrical trailer, which is ported over here along with new extras like on-camera interviews with crew members composer Barry De Vorzon, producer Lawrence Gordon, and DOP Jules Brenner, with an audio commentary by author Stephen Prince.

Looking quite good in HD, this remake of the 1945 film (not yet on Blu-ray) was written and directed by John Milius and starred Warren Oates, Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton, John Ryan, and Richard Dreyfuss. Filled with a lot of action, and a fine cast, this still remains a bit crude and morally muddled.

Ich kann's kaum glauben!

Reviewed in Germany on June 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

Wenn ich mir die bisherigen Infos zur Blu-ray anseh',
wurde hier mächtig die Zensurschere eingesetzt.
DVD = FSK 18
BR = FSK 12
Laufzeit DVD = 103
Laufzeit BR = 103 ( wg. des DVD-Speed-Ups sollte die BR 109 Min. laufen)
Diese Zahlen werden auch bei anderen BR-Anbietern genannt.
Eine um 6 Minuten gekürzte "Dillinger-Bluray" kann sich
"eplosive media" gepflegt in die Haare schmiern!

Update v. 22.07.16:

Da Amazon die Laufzeitangabe von 103 auf 107 Minuten geändert hat,
wird es sich wohl doch um eine ungekürzte Fassung handeln.
Darum zunächst ein Upgrade auf 3 Sterne von mir.
Sollte die Blu-ray dann auch noch 'ne angemessene Bildqualität haben
(Logisch, erwarte ich da keine Wunder, bei einem Film von 1973),
rück' ich beim nächsten Update sogar ein/zwei Sternchen mehr raus.
Denn am Film selber gibts nichts zu mäkeln und die lockere 70ger-Jahre-
Synchro von K.-H. Brunnemann ist dazu noch das lecker Sahnehäubchen.

Noch'n Update:

Hab' mir jetzt das Teil, nachdem es partout nicht günstiger werden wollte, endlich zugelegt
und kann nun was zur Quali rauslassen.

Nach Start der Blu-ray muss man leider feststellen, dass das originelle Menü der DVD nicht übernommen wurde.
Statt dem Titelblatt einer Zeitung aus den 1930ern, kriegt man hier nur ein übliches 0815-Menü
mit Szenen aus dem Film aufs enttäuschte Auge gedrückt.
Dann erlebt man, genau wie bei der DVD, zunächst mal das mieseste Bild des Films, sowie den leicht asynchronen Ton.
Das ändert sich mit, bzw. nach dem Vorspann. Das Bild kommt rüber, als wäre im Gegensatz zur DVD ein Schleier weggezogen worden. Schärfe, Kontrast und Schwarzwert sind wesentlich besser.
Entsprechend hat sich zwar das Filmkorn erhöht, aber damit sollte man leben können. Ich press' mir Blu-rays über 'nen 80-Zoll-Fernseher rein und hab's schmerzfrei überlebt.
Dem Ton fehlt es immer noch an Höhen, geht aber trotzdem ein bisschen besser ins Ohr als bei der DVD. Befürchtet hatte ich, dass durch den Speeddown der Blu-ray der Ton "nöliger" rüberkommt, ist aber,
wie gerade geschrieben, nicht der Fall.

Zusätzliche Extras zur DVD:
Audiokommentar von Mike Siegel, deutscher Regisseur und Autor, den wohl jeder, der sich auch nur ansatzweise fürs Thema Film interessiert, kennen sollte.
Mir bisher jedenfalls, vorm googeln, nicht. Soll aber überhaupt keine negative keine Beurteilung sein!
Hab' mal kurz reingehört, scheint kompetent zu sein und interesasante Infos zu haben. Sein Kommentar begleitet den ganzen Film.
Türlich nur bei entsprechender Menü-Anwahl.
Außerdem: Vier Texttafeln mit Fakten zum Film. Dafür fehlt der Blu-ray-Ausgabe das der DVD beiliegende Booklet mit entsprechenden Infos.

Untertitel sind dem englischen Original-Dialog entsprechend. Interessant dabei der Vergleich zur Karlheinz Brunnemann-Synchro.

Und noch zu guter Letzt: Wenn denn, oder für wen denn auch immer, interessant: Wenden kann man das Cover, sodass man das gequälte Auge nicht vom Cover mit FSK-Aufdruck abwenden muss.

"We're In The Money - The Sky Is Sunny"

Reviewed in Germany on November 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

In den 30er Jahren leidet Amerika und seine Menschen unter der Großen-Depression. Aber einer Gruppe ist das völlig egal, sie führen ein Leben wie im Rausch und die Dollars stammen aus Banküberfällen. Einer dieser Männer ist John Dillinger (Warren Oates), der langsam den Status eines Volkshelden erreicht. Mit seiner Gang - Harry Dean Stanton (Homer von Meter), Geoffrey Lewis (Harry Piepont), Richard Dreyfuss (Baby Face Nelson), John P.Ryan (Charles Maklay) und Billie Frechette (Michelle Phillips) - kennt er auf seinen Raubzügen keine Gnade und wird zum Staatsfeind Nr.1. Doch Melvin Purvis (Ben Johnson) vom FBI nimmt den Kampf auf und ist fest entschlossen John Dillinger zu Fall zu bringen.

Es gibt zahlreiche Verfilmungen über Dillinger, aber 1973 inszenierte Regisseur John Milius einen furiosen Film über sein Leben und seine Verbrechen - vollgepackt mit Action, blutigen Shootouts, explosiven Schießereien - und das alles in einem unglaublichen Höllentempo. Eine Geschichte die auf authentische Art und Weise erzählt wird, aber ohne sich in historischen Fakten zu verlieren, denn die Ereignisse um den Tod von Dillinger und die Funktionsweise des FBI wurden nie eindeutig geklärt. So zeigt uns Milius mit der Glut des Maschinengewehrfeuers die Gesetzlosigkeit der 30er Jahre, die sowohl romantisiert und gleichzeitig umwerfend brutal war. Genauso unerschrocken trifft er auch den Ton von "Dillinger", mit einem Gefühl der Angst, aber auch mit einem Augenzwinkern, indem er seine Geschichte aus Sicht der Bande erzählt. Die er in humorvollen und extrem brutalen Bildern zeigt.
Warren Oates und Ben Johnson sind die Stars der Show, beide spielen ihre Rollen mit sehr viel Persönlichkeit, so dass ihre Charaktere glaubwürdig erscheinen. Unterstützt von einer klasse Besetzung wird "Dillinger" zu einem grandiosen und explosiven Film.

Bild (1.85:1 16:9) und Tonqualität sind in Ordnung, engl. Ton und engl. Untertitel.

Fazit: "Dillinger" ist großes Kino und einer der besten Gangsterfilme aller Zeiten mit dem John Milius sein ganzes Können zeigte. Seine Action-Szenen und die Gewaltdarstellungen könnten gar nicht realer sein.

A neglected 1970s masterpiece

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2010

Verified Purchase

As Clive James once remarked about a good BBC TV documentary "Sometimes you get an awful lot for your money". This low-budget gangster movie delivers a terse, well-written account of the short and eventful life of the FBI's first Public Enemy No 1, serving up in quasi-documentary style a mix of cranked-up gangster violence and sentimental Mid-West Depression nostalgia. There are two splendid performances from Warren Oates and Ben Johnson, ably supported by actors on the brink of substantial careers ... Harry Dean Stanton, Richard Dreyfus, Cloris Leachman, Geoffrey Lewis. Songs of the period such as "We're in the Money" are cleverly used as a sardonic counter-point to the machine-gun bursts and hectic car chases. Does director John Milius intend us to find in his film an old-fashioned moral? Despite Dillinger's claims to be "the best bank robber there is", their hauls seem modest and their quality of life likewise. Buy it anyway, and enjoy the movie of which Public Enemies is, alas, just a pale imitation. Favourite moment ... Dillinger taking a glass away from girl-friend Billie Frechette, snapping "You're an Indian. Indians shouldn't drink". Billie (grabbing her glass back) " I'm half-Indian and half-French. The French half drinks".

Great film from Hollywood's last golden age

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 25, 2012

Verified Purchase

Dillinger was one of the better films based the life and crime of John Dillinger and even though there are a few libities taken with historic fact, it makes up for those gripes with some of the best shoot-outs put on film and also introducing a few fresh-faced actors, notably Richard Dreyfuss as Baby-face Nelson. I would recommend this film for those who like to see a film without the slickness and CGI effects you get in so many hollywood film these days. From the acting (all the cast are excellent) to the direction and production, this is one of the best films to come out of the last golden age of American cinema.

La meilleure biopic de Dillinger

Reviewed in France on August 22, 2009

Verified Purchase

La vie de gangster (réel ou fictif) a été souvent été adapté au cinéma, notamment américain. John Dillinger, gangster célèbre du début des années 30, est certainement celui qui a le plus bénéficié d'un tel honneur posthume. Ce film, qui date de 1973, est sans nul doute le meilleur sur ce gangster, en tout cas bien bien meilleur que celle romantique due à Michael Mann avec Johnny Depp sorti en 2009. La composition de Warren Oates est largement supérieure à celle de Depp, trop romantique; celle de Ben Johnson surclasse celle hieratique et très peu inspirée de Christian Bale, acteur surfait. Le ton du film est âpre, ne fait pas de concession à un quelconque romantisme comme la version manichéenne de Mann qui transforme Dillinger en Robin des Bois et Purvis, l'agent du FBI en froide mécanique. Ici, Dillinger et Purvis ont en fait beaucoup de point communs, notamment dans leur manière de vivre la violence. Le film de Milius bénéficie au surplus d'une superbe photo qui par moment évoque John Ford (comme la musique d'ailleurs). A voir absolument
