	Gun Crazy (1949)
		Gun Crazy (1949) (aka Deadly Is the Female), the forerunner of director Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde (1967), is considered by many to be the ultimate B-movie - with film noirish elements.
		The gun slides and careens along the soaked pavement, coming to a halt in front of a pair of shoes of a mustached, Stetson-hatted witness/bystander - Sheriff Boston (Trevor Bardette), a representative of the law.
		It was as if the gun was simply something he had to have, just as other boys have to have jackknifes, or harmonicas, or baseball bats.

		For director Lewis, Gun Crazy remains a testament to his brilliant use of the camera (cinematography by Russell Harlan).
		In Gun Crazy, he found the perfect vehicle for his visual style, as the stylish, kinetic camerawork captures the destructive, crazed amour of the story.
		Gun Crazy is one of the great American movies, a giddily romantic story of two people who thrive off of each other and only completely come to life when in each other's presence.

	UNDER FIRE: THE NEW CONSENSUS ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT
		Gun Crazy suggests that "one's scholarly views of the Amendment are determined primarily by one's position on gun control."[18] This is demonstrably false, at least with respect to those scholars who support the individual right interpretation.
		Gun Crazy's principal charge is that Akhil Reed Amar, Sanford Levinson, William Van Alstyne, Robert Cottrol, and others deliberately deceive readers by not acknowledging (or acknowledging "fully"[48]) what Gun Crazy repeatedly misdescribes as fifty years of unanimous federal court rejection of the individual right view of the Amendment.
		Gun Crazy claims, referring to the rifle with which John F. Kennedy was slain, that the NRA aided the assassination by "help[ing] develop the high-powered ammunition that made this 'notoriously inaccurate' rifle more effective."[274] Despite the absurdity of this, we checked with three experts.

		Gun Crazy is often praised for its realism, and the acting goes a long way towards establishing an environment of verisimilitude.
		Gun Crazy may be the greatest B film in history, but it is still a B film.

	UNDER FIRE: THE NEW CONSENSUS ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT(rebuttal to Herz's"Gun crazy")) [Free Republic]
		Gun Crazy discusses Van Alstyne in the same section that discusses Sanford Levinson, Akhil Amar, et al., a section that is expressly devoted to law professors who allegedly champion the Amendment mendaciously and in bad faith because they are members of A2A.
		So what Gun Crazy apparently takes the Second Amendment to mean is simply that if the state compels individuals to own or carry arms as part of a militia system, the federal government cannot relieve them of that compulsion, confiscate their guns, or otherwise disable them from compliance with the state militia laws.
		Gun Crazy may have been disingenuous when it presented at length[367] its claim that pro-gun beliefs have a "religious"[368] dimension that merits the label "firearms fundamentalism,"[369] but it is on to something nonetheless.

		"Gun Crazy" (Also known as "Deadly is the Female") follows the life of Bart Tare, played by John Dall (whom upon first inspection appears as a mutant crossbreed of Gary Cooper and Guy Pierce).
		We initially see a young Bart trying to steal a gun, a setup for friends and family to summarize the different sides of the boy before a court and how even though he has a natural affinity with guns, he is basically good at heart.
		"Gun Crazy" has a reputation as something of a B-movie "gem" amongst many, and may go down in history as a lost treasure.

		While "Gun Crazy" appears to be a fl and white prelude to Arthur Penn's "Bonnie and Clyde," it is a psychologically loaded affair based upon the relationship between two lovers the brittle Tare and the wild Annie Starr within a world of crime that melds and separates them.
		While never fully explained throughout the film, this unkempt infatuation with guns is disturbing enough for the judge to place the troubled youth in juvenile hall and provides the foundations for the rest of the picture.
		"Gun Crazy" may not be as well recognized as Film Noir masterpieces such as "The Maltese Falcon", "Out of the Past" or "The Big Sleep", but it is certainly an underrated, unappreciated film that deserves more than its B movie status and a viewing by anybody with an interest in Film Noir or crime cinema.

		In "Gun Crazy" Bart is a pre-teen reprobate who, after a stint in reform school and the army, returns home without much concern or interest in anything other than a life of crime.

	Gun Crazy - A trigger-happy AG takes out the courts and Constitution. By Dahlia Lithwick (Site not responding. Last check: )
		So, his prosecutors now argue, in every gun case, that the Second Amendment does confer an individual right, but they then go on to concede that this defendant was charged under a reasonable regulation and should therefore still be convicted.
		If Ashcroft is correct in stating that the right to a gun is personal, like the right to free speech or the right to vote, then he should also take the constitutional position that only the very narrowest kinds of regulation would survive the scrutiny of the courts.
		The gun lobby has been less than thrilled with Ashcroft's decision to give them a personal right to bear arms with one hand and to take it away with the other, by declining to actually challenge a single gun law.

	DVDFanatic Review: Gun Crazy
		Gun Crazy is the classic film noir case where the man is seduced into doing bad things against his better judgment only because he wants to appease the woman whom he believes is good but is not.
		Gun Crazy was a forebear to Bonnie and Clyde (1967), and a possible influence to other road movies.
		Gun Crazy is not nearly as intense as those movies, but it is a really good suspense melodrama.

	dOc DVD Review: Gun Crazy (1949)
		Gun Crazy (aka Deadly Is the Female) is a 1949 film noir precursor to more mainstream fare like Bonnie & Clyde and Natural Born Killers, from director Joseph H. Lewis, and its story of star-crossed gunslinging lovers hitting the road to rob and steal is made all the more palatable by Peggy Cummins.
		It is one of the creative Lewis touches that gives Gun Crazy a distinctly stylized feel, and bypassing the usual artificial-looking process shots most filmmakers at the time had to use was really something of an innovation.
		Gun Crazy is a great bit of B-movie noir, with a gun-toting bad girl lead who loves shooting almost as much as she loves money.

	[KFCC] Gun Crazy Review
		BEYOND THE LAW is the second installment in the GUN CRAZY series, but none of the movies are related so there's no need to check out the first video before popping this one in.
		For a movie called GUN CRAZY, there better be a hell of a lot of bloodshed, painful grimaces, and knock-kneed pleas to be spared.
		Grab some greasy, nasty fast food, a 6-pack (it's not long enough for 12) and turn your brain on "slow drip." GUN CRAZY: BEYOND THE LAW is an entertaining enough way to spend 70 minutes of your time, and I'm tipping my glass in hopes that Muroga stays in the searing-hot confines of v-cinema Hell.

	Gun Crazy:
		The gun lobby's cavalier treatment of the constitutional text, and of the judicial consensus rejecting the broad view of the Second Amendment, must be understood as a quasi-religious movement, as well as simple political and marketing strategies.
		That aroma is detectable in the implicit cost-benefit analysis of the gun lobby's opposition to "assault weapon" bans: The pleasure of more efficient or pleasurable hunting and target competition weapons is seen to outweigh the hundreds of lives (mostly of persons of color in the inner city) lost to semiautomatic gunfire.
		In addition, the thought of directly challenging the gun lobby's central credo surely strikes fear in the hearts of many politicians already leery of the gun lobby's well-documented penchant for vicious retaliation.[296] Finally, the reluctance might be attributable to the very false consciousness that continued silence creates and reinforces.

		The doomed romance between weak-willed sharpshooter Bart Tare (John Dall), who loves guns but lacks the courage to kill, and Annie Laurie Starr (Peggy Cummins), who is the aggressor in the relationship but can't shoot with the same grace and elan as Bart, can be read on several different levels, none of them especially healthy.
		If Gun Crazy's ambitions sometimes outstrip its means, Lewis got enough of his ideas on the screen to make this one of the most fascinating and thought-provoking crime films of its era.
		Over the years, I had seen the striking, lurid poster for "Gun Crazy" in various film books (nicely rendered on the DVD cover), but I had never actually seen the movie.

		This, of course, confounds society, which views gun fetishism minus the desire to kill as aberrant, so Bart is removed from the care of his sister and sent to reform school.
		He returns home years later after serving in the Army (his exploits, outside of teaching soldiers how to shoot, go unexplained, but what seems like a curious omission today was likely accepted without question back in 1949, as most WWII veterans weren't terribly boastful of the action they saw).
		There are unique touches — Bart's aversion to killing is contrasted with Annie's fervent wish to do just that as a means of keeping her man — and Lewis's track-happy direction is slick as can be, but the film is muzzled by the tenor of the times.

		For whatever reason, the 1940s doubled up with Gun Crazy and 1948’s They Live By Night, which inevitably are always compared.

		Gun Crazy is the very essence of film noir, a low-budget, high-octane thriller whose reputation has grown with every passing year since its first appearance in 1950.
		While its story of two doomed lovers, crashing through the small towns of the mid-West, running the gauntlet of hold-ups and shoot-outs to a bloody nemesis, owes much to the true-life tale of Bonnie and Clyde, the film achieves an intense poetry eloquently expressive of the dark side of the American Dream.
