REEL ENTERPRISES is a Georgia-based purveyor of public domain movies, both classic era and modern. Their DVDs offer no commentary, deleted scenes or other bonus features. Dubs are "best available source" and can vary from very good to only fair.


FILM SYNOPSIS:
Released to theaters in 1957, GUNS DON'T ARGUE is a composite of three 1952 "Gangbusters" syndicated TV episodes, loosely woven together with additional narration. Focus is on Prohibition Era criminals. As this show was pro-law enforcement, facts that reflect badly on the FBI have been changed. Here for example, instead of their brutal ambush-style executions, both John Dillinger and Clyde Barrow fire the first shots after being given a chance to surrender.

Others covered (Baby Face Nelson, the Barker Gang, Pretty Boy Floyd) fare better; that is if you can ignore all the 1950s sets, props and costumes used to recreate the Roaring Twenties.

This is a dream come true for me.I have been looking for this horrible movie for years.I cannot remember when or where I saw it(MST3k,perhaps?),but I do remember laughing uproariously through the entire movie.
The sets are cheap;the actors barely actors(for the most part)and the overall impression you may get is that this is the exact antithesis of"Reefer Madness."
So actually,because I am a lover of baaaaad movies(but I love Ed Wood) and this one qualifies,I am going to sit myself down to Sunday dinner,and watch this beloved and horrid movie,hoping to not choke on my food while laughing.
