What happens

A Talent for Loving is a 1969 British-American comedy Western film directed by Richard Quine and starring Richard Widmark, Chaim Topol, and Cesar Romero. It is based on the 1961 parodic Western novel A Talent for Loving, or The Great Cowboy Race by Richard Condon, who also wrote the screenplay. The home video version of the film (Simitar Entertainment) is re-titled Gun Crazy and has been edited to 95 minutes (not to be confused with the 1950 film: Gun Crazy). In December 1965, Walter Shenson offered A Talent for Loving to Brian Epstein as a film vehicle for the Beatles, and it was rejected unanimously. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
