Gun Girls (1957)

Fairly shoddy exploitation film about "teenage" girls (lets be honest they all look like they left their teenage years a long time ago) who commit crimes. Dora (Jacqueline Park) has fallen in with a bad crowd and has formed a criminal partnership with Teddy (Jeanne Ferguson). After knocking a few chumps over the heads and stealing their watches, the girls decide they need to move up a crime level and get some guns from the local fence, Joe (Timothy Farrell).

Joe meanwhile has a plan to steal the payroll at a warehouse using information gleaned from his inside gal (in more ways than one) Joy (Eve Brent). Everything doesn't go according to plan with various double crossing and criminal ineptitude. Naturally the film has to show that crime doesn't pay...

A rough film that was made on a (low) budget. Often shamelessly exploitative (when the girls get their guns, for example the camera makes a point of showing them hiding the guns up their skirts). Enjoyable enough melodrama but nothing more.
