Guns Don't Argue (1957)

Made by putting together several episodes of TV show Gang Busters, possibly with some new material added to it, this is an episodic narrative about several famous criminals of the 1930s, e.g., Dillinger, Van Meter, Karpis, the Barkers, Floyd, etc. The stories are fictionalized to varying degrees.

My assessment about this film would be roughly the same as that of Gang Busters, which I reviewed prior to it. Overall, a passable entertainment, except that character Ma Barker, as it is depicted here and in many other films and assorted media, is a notorious and ridiculous fabrication which somehow I find hard to enjoy.

Rating: 37
