it's true that he saw a clark gable movie, but it was the gangster film
called "manhattan melodrama".
he had been set up by anna sage, a brothel madame who knew dillinger's
girlfriend, polly
hamilton.
sage was facing deportation and thought the tip would help keep her in
america. she told
fbi agent melvin purvis that she would be wearing red, leading her to be
dubbed "the
woman in red".
dillinger was shot three times when he tried to escape, and Sage wound up
being sent
back to romania.
