“The Spirits of St. Paul,” a gangster movie that includes a scene shot at Bill’s Toggery in Shakopee, opened Friday at the ICON Theatre in St. Louis Park. (See schedule) The film will play at least through Thursday.
For an independent film with no big-name actors to make it onto a major theater chain screen is a “huge, huge deal,” said co-director Gary Crask of Riverwood Pictures.
The movie tells the role the city of St. Paul played in American gangster history as a safe harbor for some of the nation’s most notorious criminals. (See trailer below)
A local film crew staged one bank robbery in the tailor shop of Bill’s Toggery, a downtown Shakopee men’s clothing store.
The scene, shot in April 2010, was a re-enactment of a September 1932 bank heist in Redwood Falls, Minn. Alvin “Creepy” Karpis, Doc Barker and Fred Barker held up the bank for reportedly $35,000.
Working with a small budget, the Crasks couldn’t afford to drag cast and crew out west to film the short scene. So driving about the southwest metro looking for film locations, they stumbled upon Bill’s Toggery in Shakopee.
With a doorway angled toward the intersection of Lewis Street and Second Avenue, the building looked remarkably like a historic bank.
Crask called Bill’s Toggery owner Bill Wermerskirchen, who let the producer in on a little secret: The building originally was a bank.
Wermerskirchen eventually found himself in front of the camera, starring as the bank manager.
The Minneapolis St. Paul Film Festival selected “the Spirits of St. Paul” as one of 15 films being shown at a satellite festival this week in Rochester.
The “Spirits of St. Paul” had a limited special showing for 12 shows the weekend of March 30, playing to mostly full houses, Crask said.
President Trump has said he is “not interested” in deporting Prince Harry. Harry currently lives in Montecito, California, with his wife, Meghan Markle.

“Squid Game 2” snagged a trophy at this year’s Critics Choice Awards!
On February 7 local time, the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards were held in Santa Monica, California. While the ceremony was originally scheduled to take place on January 12, it was postponed due to the Los Angeles wildfires.
“Squid Game” took home this year’s award for Best Foreign Language Series, beating out fellow nominees “Pachinko” (which won the award in 2023), “Acapulco,” “Citadel: Honey Bunny,” “La Máquina,” “The Law According to Lidia Poët,” “My Brilliant Friend,” and “Senna.”
This year marks the second time “Squid Game” has won Best Foreign Language Series: Season 1 of the show claimed the prize back in 2022, when star Lee Jung Jae also won the award for Best Actor in a Drama Series.
Congratulations to the cast and crew of “Squid Game 2”!
