People get all bent out of shape over guns being incorrect for the era, but what about gun handling?
"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" was on the tube this am. In the scene where John Wayne is giving James Stewart a shooting lesson, he comes out of the holster, twirling the gun and then keeps the gun level, pointing it carelessly while instructing one of his pals to place paint cans on fence posts.
Stewart no sooner places the last can when JW starts shooting from the hip, fanning the gun and shooting the cans, the last one right above Stewart's head.
Do we get upset about this or do we simply take it as the stuff of movies and appreciate the story line?
