An era of jazz Jalopies Prohibition And Trigger-Happy Punks.” — Baby Face Nelson this essay examines a distinctive and coherent cycle of films, pro- duced in the late 1950s and early 1960s, which exploited the notoriety of Prohibition-era gangsters such as Baby Face Nelson, Al Capone, Bonnie Parker, Ma Barker, Mad Dog Coll, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, John Dillinger, and Legs Diamond. Despite the historical specificity of the gangsters portrayed in these “bio-pics,” the films each display a marked interest in relating their exploits to contemporary topical con- cerns. Not the least of these was a desire to exploit headline-grabbing, sensational stories of delinquent youth in the 1950s and to link these to equally sensational stories of punk hoodlums from 1920s and 1930s. In the following pages, some of the crossovers and overlaps between cycles of juvenile delinquency films and gangster bio-pics will be critically eval- uated.

  • Ma Barker Gang V2
    Cold Open: Holy shit this is gonna to be a fun ride today! Man, I forgot how much I loved Depression era gangster tales! The members of the Ma Barker Gang, aka the Barker-Karpis Gang it quickly evolved into and became more commonly known as, were cold-blooded, thieving, kidnapping, cop-killing sons-of-bitches. They don’t deserve to be romanticized. They were self-serving, ruthless dirtbags - I know that! But…there is something darkly romantic about old time bank robbers. A criminal such as a rapist is an obvious fucking coward. Holding down someone usually physically weaker then themselves, physically and psychology violating someone they’ve drugged, or tricked, or are holding a weapon to, using them for their own sadistic, physical pleasure. The nature of that crime is inherently evil. Same for pedophilia. Same for most murders. Those crimes seem to me, and to most of us, as inhuman somehow, which explains our fascination with them. How could someone do that? Theft, however, while also not morally justified, is so much more relatable, because it’s so very human. We don’t all, thank God, want to rape. However, we ALL do want money! Even if you don’t consider yourself materialistic, or monetarily driven, you still have bills to pay. Or, if you don’t, then someone else is paying for your existence - and I hope you’re grateful for them being at least somewhat financially motivated. And, almost all of us have stolen something at some point in our lives! Maybe you haven’t taken anything from a store, but, have you bit torrented a movie? Ever used someone else’s username and password to watch something intended for paid subscribers only? Ever downloaded an album someone gave you on a thumb drive and listened to it over and over and then never paid for it? Well, welcome to the thief club! You took something, or you used something - you listened to or watched something - that someone else created with the intention of having it sold.

  • Ma Barker & the Barker Gang
    Matriarch Dov Levy Of Crime Ma Barker & the Barker Gang FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called her “the most vicious, dangerous and resourceful criminal brain of the last decade.” She has been held up as an example of maternal instincts gone wrong; a woman who contributed to her sons’ deaths by driving them to commit violent crimes. Yet many argue that she was a victim of FBI character assas- sination, guilty only of passivity.

    1.Ward, Alcatraz 9/2/08 4:34 PM Page 13 1 THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S WAR ON “PUBLIC ENEMIES” Shortly after the First World War many Americans came to be- lieve that rampant crime was a defining element of their society.

The media gangster was an inven- tion, much less an accurate reflection of reality than a projection created from various Americans’ beliefs, concerns and ideas about what would sell. ... The rhetoric of crime gained a resonant new term in April 1930 when the Chicago Crime Commission released a list of the city’s twenty-eight most dangerous “public enemies.” Journalists across the country published the list, adopted the term, and dubbed the notorious Al Capone “Public Enemy Number One.”1 On April 27, 1926, Illinois Assistant State’s Attorney William H. Mc- Swiggin was in a Cicero saloon drinking beer with five other men—a former police officer and four gangsters, one of them a man he had un- successfully prosecuted for murder a few months earlier.
