Gun Crazy (1949)




☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ½

Gun Crazy (1949) – J. H. Lewis

Pretty crazy that some of these film noir B-pictures that show normal lives taking a turn for the worse, in this case because of the femme fatale (and the guy's stupidity, of course), exist side by side with A-pictures that feature not a cloud in the sky (or a shadow descending on a swamp). Frenetic pacing and tough gal-weak guy characterizations make this a stand-out, along with some killer set pieces.
