Guns Girls and Gangsters

The narrator almost always refers to Mamie Van Doren's character by her full name, "Vi Victor," and never just "Vi" as some of the other characters do. Possibly this is for clarity; it could also be a reference to the old Latin saying, "Vae victis" ("woe to the conquered"). When Vi is checking in to the Stage Coach Inn the narrator uses just her first name only when stating why Vi needed a cabin close to the front by the road so she would have an unobstructed view of the garage.

In The Maltese Falcon (1941) Sam Spade refers to Wilmer as a 'gunsel'. Trivia notes include the following: "The Yiddish term "gunsel"--literally, "little goose"--may indeed be a vulgarism for homosexual (the word "faigle", or "little bird", is usually used in that respect), but it's more commonly an "underground" term that refers to a person who is either a "fall guy" or a "stool pigeon"." In the case of Wilmer it is appropriate; in this film, in the trailer dialogue, 'gunsel' is used for its other common meaning which is a criminal with a gun.

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.

At various points in the preparation for the heist, Vi, Chuck and Mike, all check their wristwatches for the time and all three watches are Bulovas.

The movie has narration throughout up to and including the final shot with overly dramatic commentary and explanations of the plot and descriptions of the armored car and its purpose. The plot is not that complex and most of the narration is unnecessary. Especially odd is the final narration about the armored car and how it was built to do its job and yet the vehicle was assaulted and commandeered and failed to do its job.
