GUNS DON'T ARGUE

Cinemavixion Review

Richard C. Kahn's "Guns Don't Argue" offers a fascinating glimpse into early television's transition to the silver screen. This 1957 feature, ingeniously stitched together from three episodes of the "Gangbusters" TV series, presents a narrative that, while episodic in nature, retains a pulpy charm. Myron Healey anchors the film with a performance fitting for the era's crime dramas, supported by Jean Harvey and Paul Dubov. Though its origins lie in television, the film attempts a cinematic scope, exploring themes common to crime and action genres. While lacking the polish of a dedicated feature film production, "Guns Don't Argue" stands as a curious artifact of its time, appealing to those interested in the evolution of broadcast media and vintage crime thrillers.
