1. Details on "Dillinger"

Stars:

Directed by John Milius
Warren Oates as John Dillinger
Ben Johnson as Melvin Purvis
Richard Dreyfuss as Baby Face Nelson
Michelle Phillips as Billie Frechette
Harry Dean Stanton as Homer Van Meter
Cloris Leachman as Anna Sage

This is a pretty good film. Cast and acting are top drawer. One scene with Stanton is tragically amusing. Nobody has seen Dreyfuss play a baddy like this. And Oates and Johnson are both great.

Recommended viewing.
