It's true, Ma Barker really did nothing, other than as the man said, provide a house of refuge for her admitedly killer brood. She never had a gun in her hand (the billboard for the movie shows her blasting away with a "tommy" gun) and would not even have known how to fire one (she was not bright). Ma Barker never was charged with a crime, and was never arrested. She was shot by Hoover's "G Men" in I think 1935, and they had to justify he murder somehow, so they just made up the story of her being a criminal master mind. Anyhow, this movie stinks, not just because it is fake, but from what the young man above said so well, that it is just a junky movie.
