If a man has one friend, he's rich

After lots and lots of flashy top-quality contemporary films, it's always refreshing to hark back to the yesteryear. Winchester '73 was released in 1950, it's a good old western, a black & white movie directed by Anthony Mann, James Stewart and Shelley Winters in the lead. And it's a story of the Winchester Rifle Model 187 a.k.a. "The gun that won the west." To cowman, outlaw, peace officer or soldier, the Winchester '73 was a treasured possession. An Indian would sell his soul to own one. In the wild west of 1876, the Winchester piece was as famous - and deadly - as the stars Crazy Horse, George Custer and Wyatt Earp.
