...contrary, they were hideous, violent hoods, who, as Dillinger says, "gave gangsters a bad name." Several gimmicks in Dillinger were lifted straight out of Bonnie and Clyde, beginning with the use of the song "We're in the Money" sung over the credits. Dillinger tries to be more factual, but turns out to be just as artificial. There is a scene between Dillinger and Billie on a wide stretch of plain with huge clouds rolling by that could have been done with the same footage used in a scene in Bonnie and Clyde where Beatty and Dunaway roll...

This is significant, for Kilson has justified his attacks on blacks by the desire to stimulate debate on a serious issue. Evidently, he prefers that discussion be non-adversarial, thus facilitating his practice of altering the facts to fit his arguments. It is a phenomenon that, regrettably, is far from...
