Depp's John is nice to the ladies, especially the Franco-Native American Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard), and quick with the quips - as in his one brief face-to-face with Purvis (Christian Bale): "What keeps you up nights, Mr. Dillinger?"

"I have already spoken with the President of the European Socialist Party, Nyrup Rasmussen, to try to form a majority." - Bruce Crumley / Paris...

It cost $10 million to build, most of that paid by Franco-Belgian energy giant GDF Suez, which is using the museum as a laboratory of green technologies like LED lights and climate-control systems...
