Gun Crazy
When gun fancier Bart Tare sees Annie Laurie Starr's sideshow sharpshooting act, he's a dead-bang goner. He and she go together, as Bart ultimately says, 'like guns and ammunition'. The two become bank robbers on the run, eluding roadblocks and roaring into movie history as one of the benchmark film-noir works. Peggy Cummins and John Dall star in this ferocious thriller, often cited as a forerunner to 'Bonnie and Clyde'. AKA 'Deadly is the Female'.
