Gun Crazy

PG97 min

Synopsis

A tale of star-crossed lovers on the run, of l’amour fou anarchically celebrated, what sets Gun Crazy apart is low-budget director Joseph H. Lewis’ constantly surprising and wildly inventive treatment of familiar material. Take, for example, the startling way in which he establishes the instant sexual attraction between the two young protagonists, Bart (John Dall) and Annie (Peggy Cummins), through their mutual passion for guns.
