Description by OLDIES.com:
When Dawson finally catches up to Martin, he offers him a partnership in a new crime syndicate he's starting up on the West Coast. Jack takes the gig and Carol abandons her dull daily grind to go with him. Their risky new arrangement works out fine until a country club robbery climaxes in a bloody shoot-out. Jack wants to quit his life of crime for Carol's sake, but the back-stabbing Dawson sabotages his plans by ratting him out to the police.
Gangster Story, which marks Matthau's only directorial effort, had a minimal budget, a cast of unknown actors, and his real-life wife, Carol Grace, as the female lead. This stark, gritty and violent tale of a man at the crossroads of his life provides an interesting glimpse into the "dark side" of Walter Matthau, best known for his later string of award-winning hit comedies, such as The Fortune Cookie (1966), The Odd Couple (1968), Kotch (1971), and The Sunshine Boys (1975) among many others.
