“[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer] put me right to work in Manhattan Melodrama, which precipated the demise of John Dillinger, Public Enemy No. 1. FBI agents shot him down outside the Biograph Theatre, in Chicago, after he’d seen the film. Supposedly a Myrna Loy fan, he broke cover to see me. Personally, I suspect the theme of the picture rather than my fatal charms attracted him, but I’ve always felt a little guilty about it, anyway. They filled him full of holes, poor soul.”
-Myrna Loy, in her autobiography Being and Becoming
Myrna Loy was reportedly real-life gangster John Dillinger’s favorite actress and he crept out of hiding to see her latest picture, Manhattan Melodrama (1934). The FBI was tipped off to his presence and Dillinger was shot to death leaving the theater.
Manhattan Melodrama, Loy’s first film with Thin Man co-star William Powell, is definitely worth a watch - as far as “Last Movies Seen Before Getting Plugged by the Feds” go, Dillinger could’ve done a lot worse.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kzjps67SQ31qzdvhio1_500.jpg)

We saw The Runaways last night, finally! I’m not going to spoil anything for those who have to wait to see it in their town, but I will say it lived up to our every expectation, 100 percent. It was as sexy as all get out, beautifully shot by Floria, formiably acted by Dakota and Kristen and overflowing with an amazing soundtrack, (more than even on the released one.)
I knew from the moment I heard about all these women coming together last summer to make this movie that it was going to be amazing, and I was definitely not let down.
I can’t wait to see it!
