J. Edgar Hoover (1895-1972), who served as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, actively opposed the filming of this movie and demanded that the FBI be portrayed favorably in it. Shortly before his death, he wrote a disclaimer to be used in the film (it is heard after the end credits). The film shows Dillinger being killed outside the Biograph Theater as soon as he pulled out a gun. In reality, Dillinger did not pull out a gun that evening. The FBI decided simply to kill Dillinger, rather than attempt to take him alive. He ran and received six bullets in the back.
The idea that Pretty Boy Floyd (Charles Arthur Floyd, 1904-1934) was part of Dillinger's gang is based on a theory still debated by historians and Dillinger's biographers; according to it, Floyd participated in Dillinger's gang's last bank robbery in South Bend, Indiana in June 1934. No one present at the robbery was certain it was Floyd; there is an opinion that Joseph Negri, an associate of Baby Nelson (1908-1934), claimed that Pretty Boy Floyd was there to cover up his own presence and involvement in the robbery.
