On the whole, however, it remains a minor disappointment. While director Don Siegel handles the multiple action scenes well, they&#8217;re not particularly unique; and while Mickey Rooney does a fine job as Nelson, not nearly enough time is spent establishing the root of his character&#8217;s neuroses. In one nicely-done scene, Baby Face refrains from killing a bank manager simply because he&#8217;s just as short as him, offering an intriguing hint of the &#8220;little guy complex&#8221; which may have driven Nelson&#8217;s actions; unfortunately, this is never addressed again. <\/p>\n<p>Carolyn Jones &#8212; Morticia on &#8220;The Addams Family&#8221; television show &#8212; emerges as the true find of the film: from the moment we see her pixie face on-screen (she reminds me of Bruce Willis&#8217;s lover &#8212; played by Maria de Medeiros &#8212; in <em>Pulp Fiction<\/em>), we realize how lucky Nelson was to have such a loyal and sexy moll by his side. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Baby-Face-Nelson-Jones2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Baby-Face-Nelson-Jones2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1655\" height=\"1027\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Baby-Face-Nelson-Jones2.png 1655w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Baby-Face-Nelson-Jones2-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Baby-Face-Nelson-Jones2-1024x635.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Baby-Face-Nelson-Jones2-128x79.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Baby-Face-Nelson-Jones2-768x477.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Baby-Face-Nelson-Jones2-1536x953.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/Baby-Face-Nelson-Jones2-435x270.png 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1655px) 100vw, 1655px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, she&#8217;s an entirely fictional character.
