don't you love it? After riding a horse across Nevada or Texas with nothing but a cotton shirt and a vest, you get to a town and the first thing you want is a "cold beer". So the Bartender does what? Goes to his SubZero refrigerator and pulls out a Bud Lite? And another thing...all that dam whiskey they drink....sheesh!Hey, I'm off the topic again, but just say "The Man who shot Liberty Vallace" again on American Movie Classics. That film is so full of actors we know I spent most of the time trying to place them.
But what I wanted to say...I was reading a history of the West, and the author was telling about a gunfight between Wyatt Earp and one of his deputys. Aparently they were in the saloon drinking all day, and got into an arguement and pulled on each other. They each had a pair of 45's, and emptyed them all from a distance of just a few feet (the saloons aren't really as big as they seem in the movies). Nobody was hit! So they went back to drinking. Now either they were much better shots than we give them credit for, or holding on to a 45 is much harder than it looks.
What I found interesting was the "Regulators", marksmen who were hired to kill the bad guys by ambush from very long range with precision rifles. My pal Marlon Brando played one in a film I can't remember. If I recall, he was a bit "dainty" in this one.
