Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw)
Character Analysis
Babe Ruthless
We think it's fair to say that Doyle Lonnegan is one of the most menacing villains in movie history…and that's saying a lot. After all, movie history includes Chinatown' s Noah Cross, Hannibal Lecter, and the Wicked Witch of the West.
But there's something about Doyle Lonnegan that sets him apart. He's both ice cold (Hannibal Lecter-style) and full of rage (Wicked Witch-style). And what's especially interesting about Lonnegan is the mixture of loyalty and total cold-heartedness he feels toward the rest of the world.
We get a glimpse of this at one point when he tells his bodyguard about another mob boss named Danny:
DOYLE LONNEGAN: Me and Danny been friends since we were six. Take a good look at that face, Floyd, cause if he ever finds out we let one lousy grifter beat us, you'll have to kill him and every other hood in Chicago who'd like to do the same thing.
