Gun Crazy
It’s no surprise that many are attracted to the thrill of shooting a gun. But what happens when a worthwhile hobby turns into a dangerous obsession? What happens when someone goes Gun Crazy? Find out in this noir saga of outlaw violence! Bert Tare is the best shot in town, and sensible enough about his talent. But once he meets Laurie, a sharpshooter in a circus sideshow, all bets are off. They fall in love and go on a cross-country bank-robbing spree, going together like guns and ammunition! This blistering crime picture puts us right in the relentless cauldron of their frenzied passion, both for each other and their bandit ways, making it a proto-Bonnie & Clyde. Featuring a cameo by a 14-year-old Russ Tamblyn as the young Bert Tare.
