A low-budget noir classic, GUN CRAZY proved that the oft-recycled story of a young couple on a crime spree could be more sexually charged and disturbing when filmed under the restrictions of the Production Code. Often regarded as a precursor to BONNIE AND CLYDE, GUN CRAZY was b-film-making at its grittiest. Justly famous for its lengthy robbery andgetaway scene, filmed entirely from the back seat of the getaway car. ½ - JL
