From Noon Till Three (1993)

Bank robber Graham Dorsey (Charles Bronson) spends a few hours with beautiful widow Amanda Starbuck (Jill Ireland), in which time his gang takes part in a disastrous holdup. Learning of his comrades' demise, Dorsey goes on the lam. Believing her short-term lover was killed by the law, Amanda decides to make the most of having had a liaison with the supposedly deceased desperado by writing a book about him. Much to his confusion, the still-living Dorsey watches as his name becomes legendary.
