Gangster Story is a 1959 American crime film directed by and starring Walter Matthau. The film was edited by Radley Metzger.[1]
This is the only film that Matthau directed. He married co-star Carol Grace in 1959.
A mobster is hiding from the law in a small town, and he is running out of money. So he robs a bank and gets away with some loot. However, not only are the cops now after him, but so is the local mob boss, who is jealous that an outsider pulled a job in his territory, especially without giving him a piece of the pie.
