PBS's "The American Experience" is an amazing series. Episode after episode, they continue to release the best quality documentaries. All are better than average and quite a few are among the best on the subjects they portray. While this show about John Dillinger is not a standout show compared to the average show in the series, it still is excellent throughout and worth seeing. It also well to other documentaries on Dillinger and the FBI's quest to bring him to justice I have seen (such as those on The History Channel). It features the usual interviews, vintage photos and film as well as a few re-enactments. Overall, it discusses the topic thoroughly and left me with my usual admiration for the series. Well worth seeing.
