The Great Flamarion (1945)

Directed by Anthony Mann

The Great Flamarion is an aging vaudeville sharpshooter whose act is assisted by a married couple acting as human targets. The wife is unhappy, though, and is itching to engineer a little accident to get rid of her alcoholic husband. The great Erich von Stroheim plays the sharpshooter with great sensitivity, and a psychopathic edge, again qualifying him as a typical Anthony Mann hero.
