Shot in 8 days by a young Roger Corman, "MACHINE GUN KELLY" is a very good gangster biopic, and gives Bronson one of his best roles. He is cast against type, as a supersticious coward, petrified at the sight of a coffin, or even a tattoo representing a skull. Manipulated by his girlfriend who gave him his nickname, Kelly fails at kidnapping, and let the cops arrest him, without resistance. Jimmy Cagney he is not.
A little big movie.

Very cool ! If you take a close look, you'll see that in " THE MECHANIC", there's an hommage to this scene : Bronson and the same actor Frank DeKova are together in a scene with a panther ! It can't be just a coincidence...  Kelly's not afraid of the tiger. As long as it's behind bars. |

I checked it out.You were right.Especially the way Bishop stares at the leopard is like remembering the "Machine Gun Kelly" scene.
