Inspired by the exploits of Bonnie and Clyde, blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo penned this story of Bart (Dall), a shy marksman obsessed with guns, and Laurie (Cummins), a carnival sharpshooter whose allure is matched only by her dangerous volatility. Together, these doomed lovers fall into a life of crime, driven by passion and paranoia. A perfect blend of erotic tension and existential dread, GUN CRAZY is a cornerstone of American B-movie brilliance.
