Hey guys! I'm not looking so much for a particular film, but rather films on a particular subject. When I was a child, my grandfather loved reading about Joseph 'Bunco' Kelly. I had completely forgotten all about this until this morning I caught the tail-end of a show on TV that was mentioning him. I was wondering, does anyone know of any films that may revolve around either him or being shanghaied. I'd like to find some movies based on actual history (preferably American history) but I wouldn't mind seeing even a decent fictional movie. Thanks in advance for your help!

I searched high and low for a week...nothing. I did learn alot about the man,though-wow. It would make a fascinating film or documentary!
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
