Program Description

Event Details

For the month of September, we will be showing movies about lovers on the run from the law.  Usually based on real life events, these toxic duos have done something terrible and yet we sometimes find ourselves rooting for them to get away with it.

On this night, we are watching Joseph H. Lewis' 1950 film "Gun Crazy" starring John Dall and Peggy Cummins.

Bart Tare is an ex-Army man who has a lifelong fixation with guns, he meets a kindred spirit in sharpshooter Annie Starr and goes to work at a carnival. After upsetting the carnival owner who lusts after Starr, they both get fired. Soon, on Starr’s behest, they embark on a crime spree for cash.
