In the movie, John Dillinger and other bank robbers are seen having friendly relations with the Chicago mobsters. Specifically with Phillip D'Andrea, a top lieutenant in the Al Capone mob. In real life, Capone was said to admire bank robbers, and would often allow bandits safe haven in Chicago, under the mob's protection. However, as also shown in the movie, after Frank Nitti took over the mob, following Capone's conviction for tax evasion, he cut off such resources to outlaws like Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Alvin Karpis, because of the "heat" that was being brought down on the mobs, because of the FBI's furious hunt for these men.
