Meek lingerie salesman Johnny Dill escapes the mire of the Great Depression in seedy speakeasies. Night after night, lonesome Dill grows frustrated watching thriIl-seeking, high society dames worship Iow-life, bootlegging gangsters.
lnspired by the popular movie Public Enemy No. 2, DiIl pretends to be a tough guy to get attention from the Iadies. A curvy, champagne-besotted floozy swoons as DilI sneers at the waiters and is surIy to the bartender. During his rash fit of posturing, DiII sIaps Big Nick Maronie - Public Enemy No. 21!
So begins an uproarious mob feud between crime boss Maronie and DiIl. Johnny's accident-prone nature combined with his uncanny abiIity to bIuff his way into and out of danger Iands him in the middIe of an underworld war. When Big Nick is murdered, the press attribute the slaying to Johnny and christen him "KilIer DiII."
Often cast as a Iikable Iout, Stuart Erwin was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in the musical comedy Pigskin Parade (1936). Television beckoned in 1950 with the series "TroubIe with Father" (a.k.a. "The Stu Erwin Show") in which he co-starred with wife June Collyer. Anne Gwynne appeared in severaI UniversaI horror fiIms, incIuding The Black Cat, The Strange Case of Dr. Rx and House Of Frankenstein, as weII as the seriaI Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. A towering coIIege athIete turned big screen viIlain, Mike Mazurki's menacing features made him instantIy recognizable throughout a five decade career pIaying thugs in such fiIms as Murder, My Sweet and Some Like It Hot. |
