"Unfortunately she [the Peggy Cummins' character in "Gun
Crazy"] moves into
villain territory when she guns down the lady that annoyed
her in the last
heist before the end of the film. Shoudn't the anti-hero(ine)
be on the
side of some angel?"
I see your point. But I'm not comfortable with this angel
standard,
either, except as something you call someone you're going to
"send up."
--How about Martha Ivers ("Strange Love of...") as another
hard-boiled
anti-heroine?
