Were Dillinger and Karpis friends in real life?
I have always wondered this. I really wish Karpis had more scenes in this film, I loved seeing the two legendary depression era gangsters sit down and casually chat back and forth.
shareDoesn't seem like it. But he apparently knew Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, and Charles Manson.
