Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Dillinger is a 1945 film directed by Max Nosseck. It is about—guess who?—yep, notorious gangster John Dillinger (Lawrence Tierney).After a brief prologue the story picks up Dillinger as a nascent criminal who gets arrested for sticking up a grocery store. He gets out of jail, but not before making the acquaintance of a host of professional crooks, including "Specs" Green (Edmund Lowe) and Kirk Otto (Elisha Cook Jr.). He manages to beat the rap for holding up a theater when Helen (Anne Jeffreys), the ticket seller whom he robbed, refuses to ID him; Helen then becomes his moll. Dillinger then succeeds in breaking Green, Otto, and his other friends out of jail, and the gang, led by Green, go on a series of spectacular bank robberies. However, Dillinger doesn't like being second-in-command...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Dillinger was made by Monogram Pictures, a cheapo B-Movie "Poverty Row" outfit that was best known for things like Bomba, the Jungle Boy. This picture, which was several cuts above typical Monogram fare in both budget and talent involved, shocked everyone by getting an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.Compare the 1973 film Dillinger and the Johnny Depp vehicle Public Enemies.

Blatant Lies: Dillinger lies his ass off to Green, claiming that he "shot it out with the cops" but was taken because he was outnumbered "20 to 1." In fact Dillinger was arrested by a single beat cop after sticking up a pharmacy for $7.20.
