Chicago's Biograph Theater on North Lincoln Avenue became famous on 22-July-1934 when John Dillinger attended a showing of MGM's Manhattan Melodrama with Clark Gable, Myrna Loy and William Powell. One of his companions had fingered him to the FBI. After the show, a team of agents led by Melvin Purvis shot and killed Dillinger as he tried to escape. Today the theater houses live performances:

At one time I thought it would be interesting to have a film festival showing the last movies known to have been seen by various people. I should find the list I started to make.
