Milius’s first directorial effort with a standout cast including Warren Oates, Harry Dean Stanton, Richard Dreyfuss, Geoffrey Lewis, Ben Johnson, Frank McRae and a great turn by Steve Kanaly as Pretty Boy Floyd. Also Michelle Phillips from the Mamas and the Papas does a great job as Dillinger’s girlfriend, Billie Frechette; and Cloris Leachman as the woman in red, Anna Sage.
