Description

Gun Crazy (United Artists, 1950). One Sheet (27" X 41"). One of the most popular classics of the exploitation genre, this film tells the romantic story of a boy and a girl... and the guns that bring them together. Bart (John Dall), a gun-crazy kid, meets Annie (Peggy Cummins), a sharpshooter, at a carnival, and they soon get married. When it becomes apparent that Bart doesn't make enough money to satisfy Annie, she takes him along on a series of ruthless bank robberies, which, of course, leads to a tragic ending for the young couple. The one sheet here offers incredible imagery (it made Premiere Magazine's list of "The Top 25 Movie Posters Ever). It had some fold wear and light crossfold separation, as well as a tiny edge tear and a small chip, both in the right border. All of these minor issues have been addressed with professional restoration, resulting in an extremely clean and desirable poster. You don't have to be gun crazy to love this one... just crazy about great posters! Very Fine on Linen.
