Viewing Notes

Based on an actual gang of bank robbers and murderers who terrorized North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland.  Low budget, but a fairly good crime film.  Steve Cochran is scary as the sadistic gang leader.  The film opens with statements from the governors of the three states affected.
