![]() That said, the historical accuracies disappoint. 45 autos that Dillinger was known to wear. Good Lord, the Crown Point, Indiana jailbreak was filmed at the actual Crown Point Jail, and the notorious Little Bohemia Lodge shootout was filmed at the actual site! They were period correct right down to the holsters, including the double shoulder holsters for Colt. If you track down this blog to a bit over a year ago, I wrote about my anticipation of seeing this film after being in Chicago where they filmed it on location. I just wish that Mann, one of our great action film directors who admittedly doesn’t work for The History Channel, had gone a bit more true to the actual, fascinating story. I enjoyed the tremendous attention to period correct detail in everything from the clothes to, of course, the firearms. I got out of my last movie theater a lot smoother than the real John Dillinger got out of his. Finally got to see “Public Enemies,” Michael Mann’s Dillinger movie with Johnny Depp in the starring role. ![]()
