Gun Crazy

Nov 08, 2013

(Joseph H. Lewis, USA, 1950, 35mm, 86 min)

When two sharpshooters fall in love while in a traveling show, will their good natures survive run-ins with a lecherous boss and a heartless police force—much less their own obsession with each other?

Long before Michael Moore analyzed America’s pathological love affair with guns, Joseph H. Lewis and Dalton Trumbo nailed it with this dirty little film noir, which adapts the story of Bonnie and Clyde.

Preservation funding for Gun Crazy provided by the Packard Humanities Institute.
