The Restless Gun combines two archetypes of the genre — “The Retired Gunman” and “The Drifter” — into one uniquely complex anti-hero. John Payne — the lawyer who saves Santa in Miracle On 34th Street (1947) — stars as Vint Bonner, a notorious gunman who’s not looking for trouble in post-Civil War Texas.
