John Dillinger watched this film at the Biograph Theater in Chicago and was shot and killed just a few minutes after the movie ended. It wasn't just the last movie he ever saw, it was the last anything he saw.

I so love John Dillinger's character

[@faceisfunny3]

I didn't know this was the film dillinger watched last but I'm here for Mr Gable and charming old hollywood movies :) Getting a little obsessed with Clark Gable, apparently, especially according to some of his female co-stars like Joan Crawford, he's was charming, nice and caring. He was a loveable guy. And he has the cheekiest smile i've ever seen. I mean It happened One Night and Gone with the Wind, My word was he a charmer!

[@sallyperdue3185]

Kerry Yes, I love his personality as well. He knew how to make his female costars relax before acting in a scene, and he wasn't conceited at all. Some interesting quotes: "...if I figured out in advance what I was going to do in a scene, I’d be so self-conscious, I’d be thinking about my big hands and feet instead of what the scene means.” "If I can’t believe what I’m doing, I can’t make others believe it. That’s not being an actor." "I'm being serious. I’m suffering from a lot of things (such as the desire to hop in the car with Carole and go far away from Hollywood) but I do not suffer from false modesty. Thing is, I’ve got my limitations and I know them. When you’re fenced in with limitations, you can’t rampage like a prize Spanish bull; you might get hurt.” And my favorite: "I'm no actor and I never have been. What people see on the screen is me." They don't make actors like that anymore, such charm and handsomeness should be illegal.

Yeah he was fine af

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.

[@jasonplatt2228]

W S Van Dyke directed it.

[@Moosetta]

Watch "The Musketeers of Pig Alley" on KZbin. 1912 film and an even earlier gangster picture.

[@MAKSEEM23]

One of the great 30's movies. It retains its power. Gable, Loy, and Powell each, gave arguably, the best performances of their careers.

[@SantiagoRevecoLepeReborn]

The film that John Dillinger watched before his death.

[@dougcasey6117]

Yeah looks boring as all hell, wouldn't be the one I would wanna see last.

[@johnvoice815]

Thank him upstairs for Hollywood and all those brilliant actors & actresses.

[@edwardjames50]

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

[@MExenberger]

Gable, Powell and Loy were at the height of their careers. They were wonderful. The fire scene on the boat is well made. Very interesting and curious Trotsky's calving predicted a revolution in Russia in ten years.

[@ShadrakJohn]

The shot at 2:26 is a historic event that happened on June 15, 1904

[@filmhunter1]

there's nobody in the world that know's about this movie without having seeing "Public Enemies"

[@user-fi1kt1tj2h]

[@csguden]

[@joannehines7806]

Loved this film, but got depressed when they executed Clark's character.at the end!!

[@tickedoffnow]

amazing.

[@edwardjames50]

@Mr2Rex ~ May all the joys and blessings of this holiday season be with you!

[@joannehines7806]

Clark Gable's character, Blackie, was the REAL.HERO bcuz he was willing to sacrifice himself for his loved ones promotion.& advancement!!

[@sallyperdue3185]

I cried.

[@thenobullshtchannel8768]

RIP John Dillinger ,, at least you went out with a bang , a true hero 🎥

[@bigdragon8me]

dillinger chose this as his last movie

[@John94pl]

And John Dillinger become famous again thanks "Public Enemies"

[@MultiKnull]

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

[@delinellychan]

2:38 esa torres tan fabulosas

[@danapiatraneamt]

calm ;)) I know that. I searched for this Manhattan Melodrama movie after watching Public Enemies :)

[@arturohernandez20]

RIP John Dillinger

[@piusvincentkihiyo499]

Movie to watch minutes before my death . #Dillinger

[@alexxemak]

@JigsawX37 possibly correct, doesnt mean it isnt a decent flick, i enjoyed it.

[@pk1v3ngeance]

@JigsawX37 Did that really happenend back then or do you mean just the movie?

[@Cool2BCeltic]

@DeppPattinson4EVER I first read about this film in a book about John Dillinger.

[@SocialGore]

Also, the whole movie is on KZbin you just need to get better at searching.

[@Mr2Rex]

@edwardjames50 Back at ya Happy New year

[@Mrwilmar26]

I read the book and seen the movie Public Enemy and both were good. The book was ten times better because it goes into the lives of all the baby face Nelson, Bonnie N Clyde, Dillingers good friend Red, Dillingers girl, Pretty boy Floyd, etc... Yes Depp didn't look like Dillinger n I bet some didn't know that Dillinger had alteration done to his face but hey its a movie. I liked the movie N the wraiths self. It's a fascinating time.

[@gilbertoejones]

la ùltima pelicula que viò john Dillinger..

[@SocialGore]

Trailer

[@Cool2BCeltic]

@JigsawX37 It looks to me a bit like typical 1930s kitsch.

[@Mr2Rex]

@edwardjames50 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.

[@rheam477]

Public Enemies

[@jesseb1080]
