Entertaining movie, 'Thanks' for sharing. Kudos for posting without all the advertising as well, you got my subscription.
Bo Hopkins.
One of the most under rated actors of the 70s Era. Such a talented man.
Agreed. I can't think of The Wild Bunch without seeing him smile & hearing him ask, "I kill em now?!"
Great upload, really enjoyed it.
THE SHADOW playing on the radio! CLASSIC TOUCH!
This is a great film. Love the story, the music, the characters, the fights, and the ending. They need to make films like this again.
Seek out the 1973 theatrical movie Dillinger with Warren Oates if you like this kind of movie.
Yes I agree Hollywood is dying they don’t care about quality acting quality writing unfortunately being woke and going broke is there a new business model. Fortunately there’s thousands of wonderful movies from the 40s 50s 60s 70s and even a few from the 80s
@@billybob9961 There's a new school of thought that believes Shakespeare was a biggot, class discriminatory or rascist or something like that, so they are shunning learning the theatrical acting classes of old, which is what made the best actors who specialized in theater. Even books which depicted ethnic groups in a stereotype of the time are blacklisted. Political correctness of the day is a big contribution to actors without real chops or character. It's like a dance choreographer ignoring Michael Jacksons contributions & dance moves because of his alleged moral weakness. Actors need to remember that performance no matter the character of the performer should be studied if their contributions were revolutionary at the time, regardless if they were unsavory characters in their personal lives. Am I tripping, or does this make sense?
Thanks for the upload. I found this just ok tonight.....I was not fully engaged.
Great film, thank you for posting
An absolutely grand movie Thank You so very much!!
I wanted to weep everytime one of those fine cars were wreaked.....Great movie !
Big fan of Dale Robertson looking forward to watching this movie!
Good movie. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the upload
enjoyed the movie, thanks for sharing
Great movie. Thank you very much.
The narrator is legendary
I downloaded this Thank you
Loved stories about this time. I was 15 and they made a few of these for tv.
NICE MOVIE HIRAM, THANKS!!!
2 of my favorite character actors playing the Barker brothers, Gary Sandy and Hunter von Leer. Gorgeous.
All those bullets and so few of them hit their mark . Makes a mockery of gunfighting . Just trying to imagine how the armourer in this production must have been kept busy procuring all those blanks. Great movie and fine production and direction.
As a history buff, I watched this movie for over 3 hrs lol. making searches on each new character every 20 mins... & I don't think I am the only one!
remember, the names used are of actual criminals (for the most part). But the story is narrated by the main character (Purvis) who had an ego bigger than the moon, and his story telling was about as believable as Mark Twain's stories
"Those donuts look pretty good there, Sam." LMAO!
Purvis doesn't miss a shot, even with a stogie stuck in his mouth.
My late brother in laws brother wrote a book about this story and shared a pulizer prize for his work...
I'd swear that the prison guard at the beginning of the film was Lon Chaney, Jr. except for the fact that he died in 1973, two years before the film was made.
Always liked Bo Hopkins who was a perfect Pretty Boy Floyd.
I wonder what the cost of all the cigars was for this movie!

always loved this movie. a good companion piece to go with Dillinger. thank you for the film.
Enjoyed it❤ good one thanks
M.Gilis A.K.A. Baby Face Nelson shot dead 27th November 1934.
FBI Agent Melvin Purvis resigned from the FBI July 10th 1935. He had joined in Febuary 1927. (7 Years 4/5 months).
Pretty Boy Floyd and Melvin Purvis had an unusual relationship! I l just love THE PRODUCTION DESIGN!
Does anyone know where i can watch Melvin Purvis: G-Man
online? I cannot seem to find it anywhere on the web.
One of my favorites growing up
THANK YOU GREAT JOY MOVIE
A great movie, thank you.
Not bad, not bad at all . What I really enjoyed was the detective and pretty boy Floyd even if I didn't understand it LOL . Thanks for sharing this with others. :):):)

Dale Robertson’s narrator voice- another good ole boy from Oklahoma!
The truth is you can’t have enough little fire trucks, but I prefer 1/24.
I remember watching this on tv I was 15 it was good back then enjoy it now
Same sort of voice over when Jim Hardy was special investigator for Wells Fargo.
Dale Robertson played in Wells Fargo as Hardy in this movie Melvin Purvis and did the voice over in both.
...just a very GOOD ...narrator...skills...Like...ROD-SterLing(TWILIGHT-ZONE)...&...Robert-Stack-(The-UNTOUCHABLES-)-...Stacy-Keack-...(Mickey-Spillane's-'''Mike-''Hammer-'''...)-...
BUT TELL ME HOW DO THEY ...confuse him with ...Palladin( Richard Boone ) ...!!!... ???
Pretty good flick! Seen lots of versions of Kansas City massacre .This was enjoyable . I try to remember it's a movie even if it is based on real events !
That's the former governor of Georgia, Lester Maddox, playing the governor. Maddox was a a controversial figure during the civil rights
Era.
Pic rick himself, Maddox. I almost fell out of my chair when i saw him in this movie. Being from Atlanta, knowing all about him, etc., this was really a surprise. Never expected Lester Maddox to be in a movie. After seeing him, I started expecting to see him pick up a axe handle, like the ones he once sold has his restaurant in Atlanta, close to Miss Georgia, best ice cream store ever.
Lester's brother lived down the road from my grand daddy outside of Rockmart Ga. and I handed out flyers and put them on car windshields for Bo Calaway for governor against Lester.
The good old days, guns did,nt need reloading and everyone dies with a touching tear, or a smile.
Melvin Purvis is the smoothest FBI agent I ever seen in a movie. Great movie 👍👍
Well for starters. Right after the car race to Floyds front yeard, THAt was also the house where Bonnie & Clyde hung out at as well.
If someone has a rare film The F. B. I. Story: The FBI Versus Alvin Karpis, Public Enemy Number One please share or throw the link where can I download it perhaps the film is on a closed tracker cinemageddon
Why does this movie seem so much like The Dukes Of Hazzard? It's very strange. Was this done deliberately?
I’m a Dale Robertson fan and had never seen this great movie!
There is another titled "Melvin Purvis-G Man" which is a sequal to this. Also an ABC made for TV movie. It was actually supposed to be a pilot for a new series but was not picked up. The movie is EXTREMELY hard to find.
Wow, recognized the store clerk, played by David Raydon at 34:43. We did a show at Music Circus in Sacramento almost 50 years ago! Just as I remembered him!
Does anyone know the name of the background theme for Mr pervis ?
A paratrooper in 1933 really give me a break. Researchers need.more schooling
I forgot the 70's movies had the crazy banjo music and bawdy laughter moments to make up for the lack of plot. Yeehaw!
2nd viewing on my new ipad although a little “emblished” the cars/clothing/furniture looked authentic thanks to Hollywood land. Good choice group of actors authentically emulating their chosen acting characters. An enjoyable 1930’s bank robber movie. Special thanks for all whom participated making this movie possible 😎
Why not today's script writers able to make this type movie? Old Amazing cars, street fight but not more which is not very needed, excellent story telling in brief which is very important for us to understand. 👌🙂🙏❤
Satellite dish in the picture at Union station.was a Hoot! Good movie love it, thanks!
@ 1:01:44 - I think it is a microwave. A satellite antenna would be angled upwards towards the sky. Good catch, though. I commented on the same thing.
Thanks to all thanks
Cheapest sound effects ever. I've never heard a gun go literally pew, pew, pew. This movie is so historically inaccurate it's pathetic!!!
Actually the sound effects aren’t bad the pew pew your talking about is the sound of a ricochet which they are over playing it a bit but it does sound like that I thought it was cartoon bs till I shot a boulder one day and heard it
$250,000.00 in 1933? Would be $1,450,141.18 by today's standards.
I was told that Dillinger was shot in an alley outside the Biograph movie place...In the 1940's, I used to go to the Biograph when I was a kid. It was Prendergast who gave Harry S. Truman the chance to run and win being a Senator.
Catfish Platter and Hotcakes too? Man, that Purvis ate like a pig!
My last name is Robertson. It would have been good great fun to have been related to Dale Robertson. I’m 77 years old now and I don’t think that I was ever related to Dale Robertson. However, I do have a cousin who’s maiden name was Hazel Dale Robertson. She’s about 8 years older than me.
Dale Robertson (was Dayle) gave a good performance . A lot of shooting and violence for sure. Several very old cars in movie nice to see them running.
...i had that ...'''T''-ModeL-FORD-...HORN''...on ...my...BicycLe"""...was ...T/ TaLK of the ...''TOWN...boy where did you GET THAT HORN... worth more than The ...BicyCLE''...'''whaaatttt....
Today they're very old cars . When this was filmed in 1975 , they were the equivalent of cars circa 1970 would be today .
Pretty Boy Floyd left his wife and kid behind! GEE, WHAT A GUY!
Millions do the same in the USA, hence the rise of one-parent homes.
I thought this was going to be the highlights of the chiefs and 49ers super bowl 🤣
Purvis was actually never there that day...wish they had done more research...the real story is just as interesting as this fiction.
Blooper alert @ 13:30 Pool table scene. Prior to the shot, the thumb is seen moved onto tables' rail. In the next scene, thumb is back on the cushion.
The microwave dish on the tower at the 1:00.4 mark was a was good indicator of communications technology during the 1930's! :-)
good ole` Hollywood, in real life Melvin Purvis was a runt, nicknamed "Lil Mel".
I happened to see a video about six hours ago and it stated Floyd was born in Adairsville,Ga.So don't believe it, if it's from Hollywood.
1:01:50 note the 1933 satellite dish on the tower in the background.
It is a bit early. Here is something to note: "An experimental 40-mile (64 km) microwave telecommunication link across the English Channel was demonstrated in 1931." WIKI
LOVED IT!!!
Excelente película gracias por este tremendo momento gracias totales 🇦🇷
Originally an ABC Tuesday Movie of the Week 9/19/75 Dale Robertson (7/14/23 - 2/27/13) is Spot On as Melvin Purvis. He and Scott Brady (9/13/24 - 4/16/85) Smokin' Cigars is a #Classic Take it from a Cigar Guy! Bo Hopkins & Matt Clark are Solid Character Actors!! This is the American Broadcasting Company #ABC I Grew Up With! #ABCCircleFilms #70sOldSchoolClassic
CorporalPitts Melvin Purvis was no tough guy. He never had a shootout with anyone, he was a cowardly back shooter. The only 2 men he shot ,, he shot in the back of the head,, John Dillinger,, and Machine gun Kelly ,, who was unarmed at the time.
Guy turns off radio. Girl turns radio back on. Guy back hands the bitch for not listening. Girl won't stop running her big mouth. Guy smashes her Radio then kicks her out. Awww, the good old days. This scene really warms my heart.

lighter side of crime , wonderfull , i enjoyed this movie , thank you
Love the old gangster movies! Thanks so much!
I've never seen a b-film that moves forward this smoothly with no dull moments. Maybe G-Man which came a little before this. Both star Dale Robertson as Purvis.
Sorry sir, but the film you are referencing did not star Robertson, rather it was Ben Johnson who portrayed Purvis . They both have a like sounding voice but it was definitely Johnson. I'm not just going on memory but I just saw it for the umpteenth time night be last !
@@hardwaygat1354 No problem! I thought so too. 🤣 It's a great film also. Whereas Ben Johnson his almost an antagonist Robertson's is more humane. Though the real Purvis was a young man in the 1930s. 😆
@@ollilehtonen2762 In real life, Purvis was highly inexperienced and then ending up commiting suicide with the same gun
(allegedly) that he killed Dillinger . Just like J.E.Hoover neither of them knew how to be an actual
Police Officer,nor have any street sense . Political animals, both !!
@@hardwaygat1354 Yeah! In cinema he is often depicted as a pretty controversial character. I've heard he was killed by the bullet stuck in the chamber of his gun while trying to remove it. Cannot say if alleged suicide had something to do with killing of Dillinger. In addition I think the whole agency was pretty new with re-enforcing the law as they did. That is, fighting fire with fire. Surely something had to be done.
.... all that killing/gun play and not one drop of blood to be seen.

great music!
pretty boy was born and raised in Adairsville Georgia.my home town.
What is your view about the accent of the actotr acting Melvin Purvis in the film? He was born in Southern Carolina. Does the actor sound like a Southern Carolina accent? TY.
Absolutely an awesome enjoyable movie A fabulous film.😊
Not a bad film at all. Very entertaining actually. I was pleasantly surprised. Factually wrong alot of the time but it wasn't intended to be correct. They told the story of the massacre in a very entertaining way.
I love Betty Boop singing on the coffee shop radio
The train station is called union Station not union plaza station and the shoot out happened inside the train station not outside you can still see the bullet holes from the shoot out if you're from Kansas city you can tell this movie wasn't made in kansas city
Love a movie like this one. Has a riveting story line without a lot of senseless profanity and useless violence.
Great Movie 🎥 👌 👏 Awesome Cast 👌 👏 😎
I think it's safe to say that Melvin pervis liked his cigars
Pretty Boy Floyd's son was Charles "Jack" Dempsey Floyd, not Jimmy
Always liked Dale Robertson...
Before the invention of the "Gun sight.....We's a just pointin" n plugin...Ma.'
Wells Fargo is always involved....
They never met together as one gang ...
Pretty Boy Floyd was positively identified as having taken part in at least one robbery with the Dillinger gang.
Everyone knows that as long as you don't stand in front of the window you are safe! Cuz bullets can't go through a board.......right🤣
Who reads da comments to see if the movie is any good
I usually go onto the imdb app and check the story & reviews there. Good app to have & has all the details of a movie you need, also available on Imdb.com .
I don't take people opinion... I watch it myself
Yes I do but still watch it just to see if they was right
"fa" comments. One would question your reading abilities
Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Meeeeeeeeeee. (In my juice wrld voice).
