| | BARBARA - unassuming and Wonderful | MonFogendau_Brasil 08/03/2007 | Barbara Bain is, as always, brilliant, playing the part of "the mother/wife" (Anne)... unassuming but, as usual, filling the screen with her indisputable talent and grace. "American Gun", probably Barbara's and Jimmy Coburn's best movie (IMHO) , is surprising and touching - A MUST-SEE!!. BB, of course, rules!! (I'm kinda of her biggest fan!)

During the 1943 Allied invasion of Italy, American soldiers–Capt. Cash (Dick Shawn) and Lt. Christian (James Coburn)–are ordered to invade a strategic town in Italy. The Italian soldiers agree to surrender IF they can first hold the annual soccer game and wine festival. The deal is made. There is aerial reconnaissance, but those viewing from the planes see the celebration and believe it is a battle in progress. American and German soldiers arrive on the scene, and they are greeted by the drunken troops enjoying a wild party.

Young teen idols make up much of the cast of this oft-told tale of Billy the Kid (Emilio Estevez). This time, the gang is heading toward Mexico after springing two of them.
