Guns Girls And Gangsters (1959)

Just released from prison, a gangster (Gerald Mohr) plots an elaborate armored car robbery. To this end, he needs the help of a nightclub owner (Grant Richards) and a sexy blonde (Mamie Van Doren). But when the blonde's jealous ex-husband (Lee Van Cleef) escapes from prison, will they be able to pull off the heist before the ex finds them and ruins everything? Directed by Edward L. Cahn, this low budget B crime movie delivers the goods. Tight and efficient, it follows a predictable path but you pretty much know where it's going after the first 10 minutes. Mohr is almost laughable in his snarling tough guy mode before he inexplicably softens in the movie's later half. Van Doren is, well Van Doren and Cleef takes what little acting honors there are. Short enough that it doesn't wear out its welcome. Van Doren gets to do two songs. Her voice isn't that great but who's listening when you're looking. With Elaine Edwards and Paul Fix.
