A Talent for Loving (1969) is a British-American comedy Western film directed by Richard Quine, and 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 film stars Richard Widmark, Chaim Topol and Cesar Romero. 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 it unanimously.[citation needed]
