Synopsis

When Bart (John Dall), a crack-shot ex-con meets Annie (Peggy Cummins), a carnival femme-fatal, trouble is not far away in this noir classic. Driving her man to ever greater lengths to satisfy her lust for money, Bart and Annie get deeper and deeper into a fix from which they may never escape.

If you know and love films like Bonnie and Clyde (Bart and Annie are loosely based on the infamous real-life Depression era desperados), Badlands and Natural Born Killers, then you need to watch Gun Crazy, the forerunner of them all. We’re in classic pulp fiction film noir heaven with this little seen, sixty year old gem.
