A Talent for Loving (film)

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.

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.
