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. At the centre of analysis is the manner in which many of the films in the 1950s bio-pic gangster cycle present only a passing interest in pe- riod verisimilitude; producing a display of complex alignments between the historical and the contemporary. 185 peter stanfield DeLInQUENTS, gANGSTERs, AnD PUnKs In the 1950s, the representation of gangsters and of juvenile delinquents shared a common concern with explaining deviancy in terms of a rudi- mentary psychology,

  • Alvin Karpis: "No Lousy Hoodlum"
    Alvin Karpis: "No Lousy Hoodlum" by Keith Marquart azy, humid days are no rarity in New Orleans. May I, 1936 was such a day. At 4:30 in the afternoon, in a hotel one-half block from downtown, Ruth, "about 21 years old, pretty, red haired and dressed in white," had just .. Lemerged from her first floor apartment with her boy­ friend, Alvin, and his friend Fred.' Upon casual inspection Alvin, a short man at 5' 6", with light brown hair and blue eyes had ~ only one distinguishing trait: exceptionally long arms. A closer look would also reveal his scarred face and fingertips. The three walked through the lobby on their way to Alvin's car which was parked on the street in front of the hotel. Upon reaching the sidewalk they were immediately surrounded by fifteen to twenty heavily armed F.B.I. agents who "called upon them to surrender ... they were taken without the firing of a shot."2 The trio was taken into custody so quietly and smoothly that only persons nearby were aware of the Federal Agents' latest success, the arrest of Public Enemy No. I, Alvin "Creepy" Karpis. 3 Alvin Karpowicz, later "shortened to Alvin Karpis by a teacher for pronunciation purposes," was born in 1908 to John and Anna ~ Karpowicz, Lithuanian immigrants who first migrated to London, England and then to Montreal, Canada where Alvin was born: Next they moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan and finally to Topeka, Kan­ ,l sas. Years later E. W. Ford, veteran identification officer at the Kan­ sas State Reformatory in Hutchinson, where Alvin spent some years during his teens, would say, "He came from a good family, as far as we could find."s The Karpowicz house in Topeka, where Alvin lived with his parents and his three sisters, Mihilin, Emily and Clara, was situated next to the railroad tracks in the "bad" part of town.

  • 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.
