A still from the film Gun Crazy
Very clever subjective shot there of Sir Wilfred's view as he rides up the stairs, by Billy Wilder and the king of subjective camera, cinematographer Russell Harlan, who also shot the groundbreaking subjective bank robbery sequence in #GunCrazy #WitnessForTheProsecution #TCMParty #30DaysOfOscar

About five years ago, a music video was created for Oona Ruin's "Satellite" using clips from #GunCrazy. Good stuff.

Noirvember Pick. Gun Crazy (1950). The tale of two gun-obsessed lovers, the dominant Annie Laurie Starr and the passive Bart Tare, as they engage in a series of armed robberies inside the criminal underworld. 1/2 #GunCrazy #Noirvember #FilmNoir #Noir #PhysicalMedia
Freedom-loving, 'Christian' Americans...
You couldn't make it up.
But they do.

If those shots from the back seat of the car look familiar, it's because #Southside1-1000 cinematographer Russell Harlan shot the noir classic #GunCrazy the year before, where he had adapted a jockey saddle as a camera support for the infamous bank robbery sequence. #NoirAlley #TCMParty
"We go together, Annie. I don't know why. Maybe like guns and ammunition go together".
GUN CRAZY (Joseph H. Lewis, 1950). Extraordinario ejemplo de cine negro cocinado en la serie B. Peggy Cummins nunca se lució tanto como en este violento romance. #guncrazy #peggycummins #johndall #noir #CineNegro
He's a monster, and amazingly enough he is not "far left" or "radical left"... #donaldtrump #trump #guncrazy #ammosexual
Really. That last line used to be merely thought, out of politeness. But we've used up everyone's store of politeness.

#TCMParty I watched #GunCrazy and the lead characters are, in fact, very-dangerously crazy for guns. it was good and Peggy Cummins is a beauty.
Gun Crazy (1950). "So here she is, ladies and gentlemen! So appealing, so dangerous, so lovely to look at. The darling of London, England, Miss Annie Laurie Starr!" #PeggyCummins #GunCrazy #FilmNoir #Noir
Brave and The Bold commission by Shawn Van Brissen. An homage to the film "Gun Crazy" with Karin Grace dressed as Peggy Cummins' character, Annie Laurie Starr holding a Thompson machine gun with drum magazine.

#TheThingFromAnotherWorld cinematographer Russell Harlan might be best known for the famous heist sequence in #GunCrazy, but he also shot a wide variety of classics like Red River, Lust for Life, King Creole, Rio Bravo, Witness for the Prosecution, and To Kill A Mockingbird. #TCMParty
Another great viewing of #GunCrazy.
Often described as a "B" film, there was - however - a ton of talent behind the scenes:
Cinematography: Russell Harlan
Music: Victor Young
Screenplay: Dalton Trumbo
... more of an "aspirational B to A-ish" film that a true "B" IMO.

Hard to believe that someone told Peggy Cummins that she wasn't sexy enough.
.... Blindness, I guess.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m utterly mesmerized by the sight of Peggy Cummins’ blonde hair bobbing and weaving as she and John Dall make their escape here. 😎

Mr. and Mrs. (Bank Robbing) America! 😂
A while back, the NY Times did a piece on this film and 1968's "Pretty Poison" In that film, Tuesday Weld and Anthony Perkins, also show that crime is as American as apple pie.
