Negative re Dillinger. There's a blurb about this story being fact-based, but I don't quite buy that.
Clue #6:
Casting a lure: A man leaving a poker game pretends to drop a torn playing card with a King
face. Putting it back in his wallet, he remarks, "My good luck piece. Souvenir of the biggest pot
I ever sat in on."

Michael Douglas
filmed Romancing The Stone, Jewel Of The Nile, and War Of The Roses teamed with
Kathleen Turner.

Clue #5
An innocent man is suspected because the getaway vehicle is a duplicate of his delivery van. In these pre - Maranda days, he takes a series of terrible beatings (then called "Interrogations"), until the duplicate vehicle is found, and the police reluctantly let him go.

I have two guesses:
1. The sequence in Modern Times when Chaplin and Goddard get mixed up in a protest march -- with Joe Hill's "Hallelujah, I'm A Bum!" as the background music.
2. It's somewhere in the William Wellman canon, and I lack the means to track it down. But this may help somebody else to do so.

Clue #4. The four Kings from a poker deck used as ID cards.

Jenetico and Sixes;
Negative to Asphalt, Bandits. Think 1950s.
Clue #3. An assembly of villianous movie faces from the midcentury. Familiar in both Western and modern settings.

Pontius Pilate also: "Where there is greatness -- great government, great power -- or even great
passion, error also is great. Long life...and the good sense to enjoy it."
Ben-Hur also.

A correction on Clue #1, to correct a possible misdrection: Its a robbery of an armored car crew just as they exit from a bank.
Clue #2. Robbery crew are masked, even from each other, known only to the boss. Thus,
they're unable to snitch on each other.

"Vargas? Where are you, Vargas? I'm talkin' to you through this walking microphone that used to work for me!"

Does anyone else even remember? The Second Best Secret Agent In The Whole Wide World, (1965), a straight rip-off of Bond. (When the executive brings a problem to the MI-5 chief, he says "Give me the boy that handled the gold (ie, Goldfinger) conspiracy. Whatshisname,
Bond? Whatever.") 1966 sequil: Where The Bullets Fly. The first film had a theme song performed by Sammy Davis, Jr.
As for star Tom Adams, the only other place I remember seeing him was in POW crowd scenes in The Great Escape. Maybe five or six lines.

In the last few days I've posted a couple of offhand questions that no one was able to answer.
I've put some research and a re-viewing into this one. Watch it go down immediately..
#1. A bank robbery. Successful.

Okay. I can't think up enough questions to drag this out, and I'm trying to work up something on another thread. So here goes.
Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov played the roles of Paul and Mary Bland in Chopping Mall, which has nothing to do with the question at hand except that the same actors used the same names in Eating Raoul, which is the movie under discussion.
They accidentally get into the serial killer biz when a horney drunk knocks on the wrong door and thinks that Mary is the one who posted the suggestive personal ad that brought him to that building.* He gets insistant, things get rough, and Paul finally brains him with a frying pan, killing him. (He's a gourmet chef, by the way.) The money they find on the swinger gives them new ideas about financing the gourmet restaurant (with approprite wine cellar) that is their dream.
They feel their way into the practice -- posting ads, luring wealthy swingers in and killing them, always using the trusty frying pan that got them into the business. There are other developments
(note the title), but that blunt-instrument frying pan is their weapon of choice.
...* This is Los Angeles, by the way.
Anyone with a new question, its yours.

Dinklage, Peter -- A face that would look good in shirt collar ads, acting chops like a Pacino, and a body that makes it look like he should be posing between Grumpy and Doc. But this accomplished actor has been able to latch on to roles that put his talents to good use...The Station Agent and Death At a Funreal come immediately to mind.
-
Uhhh...Let's see if this helps. The killers are a married couple, and the man is also the director.
They acted together a number of times, and, in another of their joint efforts, the characters used
the same names as in this one. Again, he was the director. Helpful?

Peter Lawford
reportedly lost the friendship of Frank Sinatra over some political matters, but he maintained a
Rat Pack connection by making two movies (Salt And Pepper and One More Time) with
Sammy Davis, Jr.

Wanda Nevada?
Peter Fonda?
Brooke Shields?
The quote broke it, if I'm right.

(Just one more thought about the Rounders question: I wonder if our correspondent Choclate Chip Snorky knows about this one.)
Nobody else has posted a new question, so I'll try again.
A pair of serial killers -- profit-motivated -- happen to use a common household item as the blunt instrument the first time they commit a homicide. Thereafter they make it a point to have that same item handy at their killings, because they have learned to trust it.
What film? Who? What murder weapon?
