The late Peggy Cummins is celebrated by the Rio Cinema with a three-night run (from January 30th to February 1st) in their new Screen Two of Joseph H Lewis's superb B movie, Gun Crazy.
Chicago Reader review:
One of the most distinguished works of art to emerge from the B movie swamp, Joseph H. Lewis's 1949 film is a proto-Bonnie and Clyde tale of an outlaw couple on the run. Lewis's long takes and sure command of film noir staples (shadows, fog, rain-soaked streets) make this a stunning technical achievement, but it's something more--a gangster film that explores the limits of the form with feeling and responsibility. With Peggy Cummins and John Dall.
