"Gun Crazy" was directed by Joseph H. Lewis and co-written by blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo credited to Millard Kaufman because of the blacklist. Both Peggy Cummins and John Dall turn in fine performance in the leading roles. In 1998 the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Some reviewers have a different take on this film. One writes "the film is just very competently made and no more--like a slightly better than average B-movie. . .overall, a decent effort, but that's really about all. Nothing over the top or exciting here and it's really too bad for fans of Noir." What a shame that this film does not meet this reviewer "sophisticated" taste, but he seems to know more than the Library of Congress.
