One of the women that Dillinger was friends with tipped off Melvin Purvis that he would be at a movie theater on a certain night in exchange for his help in stopping her deportation, as she was from Romania. She and John went to see the movie "Manhattan Melodrama" on July 22, 1934.She wore a red dress that signaled the Feds waiting outside the theater that it was him. Three FBI agents then approached Dillinger and he was shot outside of the Biograph theater in Chicago, Illinois.
