Or are you just happy to see me?


Gun Crazy

(1950)
Sometimes, I suppose, a gun is just a gun, but certainly not in this delightfully Freudian noir. Bart (John Dall) fits the titular description, but Peggy (Peggy Cummins) embodies it, leading the gentle-souled marksman around by his firearm. Third act drags pretty miserably, but the first hour races toward the couple's inevitable disaster.
