The other night I watched Michael Mann's "Public Enemies" at an open air movies theatre. Trailer here.The 1930's costumes and hairstyles were as a good reason to watch the movie, as Johnny (Dillinger) Depp himself. Fedora hats, silk dresses, long wool skirts and beautiful large buttons were all there, sadly without peak moments though.
Quite a few anachronisms and factual errors spiced up the viewing. For example, the steam engine used in the film was Milwaukee road 261, which was manufactured in 1944, a decade after Dillinger's time. More goofs, here. (we love goofs!)
Do not expect a happy ending, the notorious Dillinger gets shot from behind and dies on the pavement, outside Biograph cinema. Federal agent Purvis signals his men to do so by lighting a cigar.Apparently, in reality his hand shook uncontrollably and he couldn't light it. The men still recognized the sign and moved in. In the film there are no second thoughts or shaking.
Still, a nice summer night watch for fans of the kind (or Depp).
Good company/ good pop corn, essential!
