Dillinger is a 1991 made-for-TV movie that stars Mark Harmon as the infamous bank robber John Dillinger and Sherilyn Fenn as his girlfriend Billie Frechette. Will Patton appeared in the film as FBI agent Melvin Purvis, and Bruce Abbott as fellow bank robber Harry Pierpont. An interesting note is that Lawrence Tierney, who played Dillinger in a 1945 film, appears in this version as Sheriff Jess Sarber, who was shot by Pierpont while breaking Dillinger out of an Ohio jail in October 1933. This version is one of the few to depict Dillinger's entire criminal career from his initial release from prison up until his death.
