Gun Crazy (1949, released 1950 Joseph H. Lewis)

It's a masterpiece - a masterpiece, I tell you. No wonder the cahiers boys loved it, with its on-location zippiness. The long takes and tracks are quite brilliant. It makes the way modern films are made positively dull.


The ending is far out, and somehow manages to anticipate both The Letter Never Sent and Stalker, somehow (both Russian films, you note).
