I've known for decades about the Dillinger connection but somehow never saw the movie itself until quite recently. "Manhattan Melodrama" is one of the best movies ever made, a fantastic smash hit in1934 and a sensational experience to behold today. Gable's performance in this one cemented his popularity as the foremost leading man of the sound era, period, and I believe Raoul Walsh directed it, taking another look at material from his own "Regeneration" (1915), the 1st gangster movie.
this is the oldest film i've ever watched. i liked it. that one girl was kinda annoying though. always asking "can i have a hot dog" lol.still. it was a good movie
why does everyone say this movie is famous because it was the last movie this dillinger guy watched (who is he anyways). i watched this movie because i'm a big fan of clark gable
@GALCEZAR You can get in a TCM set of William Powell and Myra Loy at Hastings Book stores or on line at New Egg and many others ... There are five movies included : Double Wedding, Evelyn Prentice, I Love You Again, Love Crazy, Manhattan Melodrama ... All five are less than $40 .... All great movies... Hope that helped ... Oh and John Dillinger was a famous gangster back in the day (1930s) ... a kind of a hero to some back then...
@GALCEZAR I got it while i was visiting canada. they have a store there called chapter's and you can order it. also i got another copy on amazon.com (it was a vhs)
I don't believe it was Dillinger, The guy who was shot had brown eyes,Dillinger had blue gray eyes, If you look at the picture of the dead guy, it looks nothing like dillinger.
I believe that's why Purvis killed Himself because He knew he killed an innocent man. The real Dillinger was suppose to have died in 1956 in a pool hall in Ohio.
I loe these classic gasngster pictures. Alot of the Directors in those day were doing some thangs that most directors didn't figure out until the 70's.
Sure these movies are sterotypical, but they are so good.
Dillinger wasn't in the movie, he was AT the movie. He was a Bank Robber until his death AFTER seeing this exact same movie. He was not a mobster like the guys in this film
Just got through watching "PUBLIC ENEMIES". And as I was watching, I noticed that JOHN DILLINGER went to see this movie. And I just had to see if YOU TUBE carried it. Unfortunately, just the trailor.

Personally, I think the only reason people know this was the last movie John Dillenger saw was because of Public Enemies.

It was a great movie by 1934 standards, and as far as I'm concerned, it's a great one now.

Yes i do believe that Mister B is right. Most men don't tolerate disrespecting a lady,
Especially a good one who works with abused children and kids and dedicates
her life to doing only good things with helping others at her own expense.
Think before you open your mouth there's always a wise ass everywhere what
have you done lately to help someone anything man. Didn't think so and the love
life still in the crapper too. I have heard about u on here and finally came across you.

Apparently John Dillinger was had a crush on Myrna Loy, thats why he came out of hiding to see it.
