Plays 6/8 - Summer Noir

Gun Crazy

Directed by Joseph H. Lewis (1950)

Few noirs fuse sex, danger, and doomed romance as explosively as Joseph H. Lewis’s Gun Crazy. What begins as a reckless attraction between two young outsiders quickly spirals into obsession, violence, and flight from the law. Driven by Peggy Cummins’s electrifying performance and some of the most kinetic filmmaking of the era, the film remains one of the most influential noirs ever made.

When gun-obsessed pacifist Bart Tare (John Dall) witnesses expert shooter Annie Laurie Starr (Cummins) demonstrate her firearm prowess at a carnival one night, it’s love at first sight. Aimless Bart joins the traveling show and begins a romance with Annie, but her dangerously rebellious spirit soon gets them both fired. After eloping, the young lovers embark on an armed robbery spree, managing to elude the authorities until Annie insists on pulling one last job.

Summer Noir

May – September, 2026

Sag Harbor Cinema turns its focus this summer to film noir – one of Hollywood’s most seductive and ever-evolving languages. Spanning the shadow-soaked fatalism of the 1940s and ‘50s to its sharper, colder reinvention in the late 20th and 21st centuries, SHC’s Summer Noir series traces the genre’s evolution from its classic roots to modern incarnations.
