Thrill crazy... Kill crazy... She was more than any man could handle! Bart and Annie share a passion for firearms and money. Together, the two go on a murderous crime spree. Thieves, lovers and Gun Crazy. Bart Tare (John Dall) has been crazy about firearms since he was a kid. Annie Laurie Star (Peggy Cummins) is the sharp-shooting queen of a traveling carnival, and when Bart beats Laurie in a shooting competition, it's love at first sight. First comes love; then comes robbery; then comes cold-blooded murder in a bank heist. Now fugitives, these two lovers and gangsters live life and face death on their own terms together.

Reviews

Vague Visages

Justine Smith

In the film’s misty final stretch, the characters are lost in a dense fog. They anticipate their own demise, but they latch onto their weapons knowing very well that surrendering is no longer an option...

A vivacious, visually exciting noir.

Tightly knit suspense and deft character drawing make [Gun Crazy] one of the surprise thrillers of the season. You can fairly hear the audience holding its breath as events build up to the crashing climax.

Philadelphia Inquirer

Mildred Martin

Dall is particularly good as the boy who only feels important with a gun in his hands, and Miss Cummins, a pleasant surprise histrionically as the girl who doesn't give a hoot about anything except John, money and not getting caught.

John Dall docs fine acting in this crime melodrama, which is frequently better than many of the more elaborate and expensive films on the same subject.
