John Dillinger Part 3: Public Enemy
John H. Dillinger is declared Public Enemy number 1! After his daring escape from Crown Point Jail the gang reorganises and doubles down on their criminal exploits - and every act is splashed across the nation’s newspapers. But the Feds have had enough. J. Edgar Hoover finds his own job is on the line - he must prove that one way or another the bureau can bring Dillinger to justice. A team of special agents are on the case - but Johnnie is nothing if not elusive. They’ll need to be very good, or get very lucky if they’re to finally apprehend the nation’s favourite criminal. A Noiser production, written by Kateland Brown. With thanks to Elliott J. Gorn, historian and author of “Dillinger’s Wild Ride: The Year that Made America’s Public Enemy Number One” This is Part 3 of 3.
