Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Boring

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

An excellent action-love story-drama, with absolutely unknown actors. The only known name is Russ Tamblyn, who has a tiny role as a child, being the main male character when he was a teenager. Peggy Cummins and John Dall are impeccable. All the actors are very good, excellent direction, solid script. Filmed very dynamically for the time it was made. Very good!

A man obsessed with guns falls in love with a reckless carnival sharp-shooter, but her ambitions draw him to the dark side.Moralizing tale of a crime spree, with good performances but an uninspired story. The male character's background is shown in a prologue and we can pretty much piece his motivations together, but the female character is a mystery who only once lets slip a tidbit from her past so we can form an idea of how she got this way. The depravity is contained, not just because we're encouraged to take the view of the law enforcers, but also because the relationship is shown in cute close-ups without a hint of savagery. The tension does mount as the net tightens, but I got a bit tired toward the end of what is a short run time.Most interesting element is the POV camera during a long take that tells the story of a heist - all from a fixed point behind the driver of the getaway car, with the only flaw an unconvincing run-in with a cop.Music is emotional but not too intrusive for a 1950s production. Direction and photography had their moments.Overall: well told story, but too tame.

In this "white-trash-meets-white-trash" picture, I found its most shocking (and, at the same time, most unintentionally hilarious) scene of all was when (as a 12-year-old, gun-crazy, delinquent) Bart Tare guns down (are you ready for this?) a cute, baby chick. I mean, you really have to see this scene (in all of its preposterous over-dramatization) to know what I'm talking about here. But, believe me, it's a hoot! One of Gun Crazy's biggest problems was that, every step of the way, the viewer could clearly see exactly where its story was going. So, that, in turn, rendered its climatic, final showdown as being nothing but a complete and total let-down.Another thing that didn't impress me much about Gun Crazy was its two light-weight, lead actors, Peggy Cummins and John Dall. Yeah. OK. The element of sleaziness was definitely there - But, on the whole, any genuine, gun-lusting chemistry between this trashy dynamic duo clearly missed the mark, in the long run.

Yep. He's crazy. She's crazy. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy... And, when it comes to the likes of firearms, they're both a couple of thrill crazy, kill crazy, gun crazies.Yep. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy.Released in 1949 - Gun Crazy (a.k.a. Deadly Is The Female) is the 'Bonnie and Clyde' story retooled for the disillusioned postwar generation. This flick is considered by many movie-connoisseurs to be the ultimate B-Movie Extraordinaire - Where shades of Film Noir abound like fireflies.Gun Crazy's fast-paced story is jet-propelled along by numerous stick-ups, a dominant femme fatale, an erotic love and obsession for guns, and a deadly sexual attraction between 2 trigger-happy sharp-shooters who quite willingly substitute violent gunplay for sex.This low-budget, stylistic film stars 2 unknown leads (Peggy Cummings and John Dall) as a pair of crazy, itchy-fingered criminals on a frantic cross-country run from the law.As socio-pathic as a duo could possibly get back in a 1940's film, characters Annie Starr and Bart Tare accidentally meet up one day and 'before-you-know-it' go on the ultimate date of a life-time. Their un-Cinderella like romance includes a crazy, high-energy robbery/shooting spree that, once the law catches up with them, inevitably leads to their sensationalistic deaths.Tsk. Tsk. Those crazy, crazy kids. And, it's all because - Happiness Is a Warm Gun. Yes, it is. Bang-Bang. Shoot-Shoot.
