Review of Machine-Gun Kelly (1958) by Brad G — 05 Apr 2012
"When Rabbits Roar It's A Bad Time." A rather young and mustacheless Charles Bronson stars as real-life villain Machine Gun Kelly in this Roger Corman cheapie. Pushed around by his moll, Kelly plays it tough with his Tommy Gun but when a kidnapping scheme turns sour and an intense fear of death haunts his nightmares, the big bad discerns the futility of his crimes and the death chair seems imminent.
Bronson and Cabot are excellent together as their bickering escalates, and the remaining crippled goons are solid supporters. This really would make an excellent companion to Roger Corman's St Valentine's Day Massacre.
