JOHNNY GET YOUR GUN

by John Ball ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 15, 1969

John Ball's best since the MWA-award winning In the Heat of the Night sentimentalizes and polemicizes in spots but his heart's in the right place even if he rubs your nose in the message. This one's about nine-year-old Johnny recently transplanted from Tennessee to Pasadena where a bigger boy takes his only possession (a radio) and smashes it and Johnny gets his father's Colt..... The situation's as susceptibly loaded as Johnny's gun and the wrap-up with Gene Autry and his ball club, the Angels, should set an attendance record for all ages.
