Trivia
Vi Victor drives an Edsel Citation Convertible, a pretty rare car (only 930 ever made). Edsel was in fact a subdivision of Ford meant to produce "the car of the future". But Edsel was, apparently, too much ahead of its time. The models flopped and the brand was discontinued after only two years.

Goofs
After the shoot out, the police enter the garage and arrest Vi who is in the garage. They would have no idea what her involvement was or if she was involved at all with the crime. Her presence there alone wouldn't make her guilty of anything.

Quotes
Vi Victor: You wanna examine the merchandise Wheeler, do it out front with the rest of the customers.

Money and Mamie Van Doren

Released from San Quentin, slick and ingenious Gerald Mohr (as Charles "Chuck" Wheeler) travels from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. There, Mr. Mohr plans to carry out a $2 million dollar heist. He needs assistance from dangerous gangster Grant Richards (as Joe Darren), who runs the nightclub where blonde bombshell Mamie Van Doren (as Vi Victor) performs. All hell breaks loose when Mohr's steely-eyed cell-mate Lee Van Cleef (as Mike Bennett) escapes from prison. Having helped Mohr concoct the plot, he wants his share of the action...

The men must decide how to divide Ms. Van Doren and the money. They do well amid silly narration and lesser production values. Filmmakers Robert E. Kent and Edward L. Cahn know how to showcase Van Doren's notable assets. This is not one of better her acting vehicles, but Van Doren is arousing throughout. She has an outstanding lingerie scene and saunters two songs. Sung in a sultry Christmas scene, "Meet Me Half Way, Baby" is pedestrian, but "Anything Your Heart Desires" is a nicely staged (by Jack Baker) number for Van Doren.

***** Guns, Girls and Gangsters (1/59) Edward L. Cahn ~ Mamie Van Doren, Gerald Mohr, Lee Van Cleef, Grant Richards
