Gun Crazy (Deadly is the Female), Joseph Lewis, 1950
“Joseph H Lewis : ‘We started a mile out of town. John and Peggy knew the intent and content of the scene, improvised their own dialogue and generally played it by ear. It so happens a car pulled out as they drove up. Otherwise she was going to double park. We made two takes and used the second take. Off screen there were people that yelled ‘They held up the bank’. It was so real and none of the bystanders knew what we were doing. We had no extras except the people the policeman dircted. Everything -cars people - was there on the street’”
