Machine-Gun Kelly (1958) is a Film Noir directed by Roger Corman, chronicling the criminal activities of the real-life George "Machine Gun" Kelly. The film was considered low budget, but received good critical reviews. The film was the first lead role for actor Charles Bronson.

Following the 1967 success of Bonnie and Clyde, American International Pictures re-released the film as a double feature with 1958's The Bonnie Parker Story.

Synopsis

George Kelly (Charles Bronson), dubbed "Machine Gun" by his partner in crime Flo Becker (Susan Cabot) because of his obsession with Thompson submachine guns, pulls off a bank robbery and eventually becomes Public Enemy #1. Discord grows among his inner circle, and Kelly, deathly afraid of being jailed or killed, is dominated and ridiculed by the tough-talking Flo.
