I just spent the better part of the past month immersed in the 1933-1935 gang rampages (Bonnie and Clyde, Dillinger, “Machine Gun” Kelly, “Pretty Boy” Floyd, “Baby Face” Nelson, and Barker/Karpis), so I got a kick out of this.
I note that the credits list “Ted Hinton” but not Frank Hamer. Makes you go “Hmmmm”, it does. I also would be curious to see how they stage the ambush scene; but not curious enough to go to New York and pay for a ticket.
Edited to add: From the great Terry Teachout: “It is, however, quite sufficiently bad enough to qualify for the finals of this year’s What-Were-They-Thinking Prize.“
