Viewing Notes
Jimmy Stewart getting physical. The shooting skill often displayed in these films is akin the martial arts skills in Shaw flicks. Thinking of the dice bet in Clans of Intrigue. Here Stewart is shooting through a bullet hole in a coin. Like, sure. Why not. Shelley Winters is great as usual.
