True Crimes Butch Cassidy – Machine Gun Kelly – Chester Gillete DVD Top-quality

Butch Cassidy, Vincenzo Perugia, Chester Gillette and Machine Gun Kelly. This fascinating programme takes us on a Journey back in time to examine four of the most interesting crime stories in history. For these stories only begin with crime itself, they hold a mirror up to their era and embody some of the most tumultous moments of our past. When Butch Cassidy was on the run, he was not just escaping the law. He was running from a world that had collapsed around him, as the Wild West he knew was tamed and transformed by a nation struggling to mature. The theft of the Mona Lisa by misguided Italian patriot Vincenzo Perugia sent shock waves throughout France and indeed the art loving world. The murder of his pregnant girlfriend, Grace Brown, by Chester Gillette symbolized the naked ambition that lurked in late 19th century American high society. Machine Gun kelly was the first of a new breed of gangster to emerge from the shadow of Prohibition.
