| | 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!)
