The Left Handed Gun (1958)
I guess, if you really like westerns, you can give The Left Handed Gun a try. I’m not a die-hard fan of the genre, so the movie has to be really riveting for me to enjoy it, like Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, or the remake of 3:10 to Yuma. If you’re like me, stick to the exciting ones, because The Left Handed Gun isn’t one of them.
Paul Newman plays Billy the Kid, a somewhat spastic murdering cowboy. He relies on his sidekicks when he’s in a jam, enjoys his women when he’s in the mood, and shoots his enemies when they’re in his way. That’s pretty much it. It’s not particularly exciting, and if you like to see Paul Newman as a bad boy, there are countless others for you to choose from.
To be fair, there is one scene towards the end (no spoilers, don’t worry) that is very good. While many people die in this film, one person dies a slow death in this particular scene, and it’s pretty sad. Paul Newman finally shows remorse over this death, and in this one scene he’s allowed to act for the camera, as opposed to the rest of the film.
