The Left handed gun 1958

Starring: Paul Newman

Billy the kid sets out to shoot four men who have killed his friend.

Newman plays Billy the kid as an illiterate, vaguely psychotic individual grieving the one man who 'gave him a chance'.

There was a good contrast between the obsessed Kid & Pat Garrett. Billy the kid was portrayed as a very sad & lonely figure.

There have been many portrayals of Billy the Kid, this has to be near the top of the list. 8/10
