American gangster film noir

Machine Gun Kelly is a 1958 American gangster film noir directed and produced by Roger Corman. It is loosely based on the criminal exploits of George "Machine Gun" Kelly and Kathryn Kelly, with Charles Bronson starring in his first leading film role. The film follows Kelly and his wife as partners in crime, with Susan Cabot playing Kathryn Kelly. Written by R. Wright Campbell, it sits within Corman’s low-budget crime work and is known chiefly for giving Bronson an early starring vehicle.
