'Dillinger' is a crime biopic about notorious bank robber John Dillinger and his gang who are hunted down by G-Man Melvin Purvis who serves as narrator. Michelle Phillips of harmony group The Mamas & The Papas gets her first major role here having appeared in Dennis Hopper's 'The Last Movie' (1971). Writer-director John Milius captures The Great Depression with fierce intensity but there's mordant humour to the bank robbers' violent escapades.

John Milius invited a fiery cast of character actors to shine by putting together an ensemble of talented but affordable support players. 'Dillinger' is followed by two television movies directed by Dan Curtis : 'Melvin Purvis : G-Man' (1974) and 'The Kansas City Massacre' (1975).
