Joseph Lewis's Gun Crazy came up in a discussion, and as I was checking up on it (the most reliable and understandable information about it came from a book, not a website, but that's a whole other discussion), I came across this image from the movie--an updated version of Bonnie and Clyde (for 1950).
This still comes from a montage of Peggy Cummins and John Dall doing a string of robberies. It's the outfits that are interesting to me, the trenchcoats and shades. I don't know if this particular type of costume for cool robbers began in this movie, but John Woo had certainly fastened on it by A Better Tomorrow.
Supposedly a run on the brand of sunglasses that Chow Yun-Fat is wearing in this scene occured after the movie was released in Hong Kong.
I tried to find an image of Nicholas Cage in the same regalia in Face/Off when he's playing bad guy Castor Troy, but couldn't come up with one. Oh, and here's a still from the scene in Gun Crazy that secures Cummins's place in the film noir Femme Fatale Hall of Fame.
Which gun are you going to play with, John?
