...Lewis directed "Gun Crazy," his most famous title and without a doubt one of the best lovers-on-the-run movies ever made. Inspired by the exploits of Bonnie and Clyde, the film offers up a "weak sister" who's an expert marksman ("Rope"'s John Dall) as he falls in love with a sharpshooting femme fatale (British actress Peggy Cummins).

So at 30--the age Beatty was when he produced and starred in Bonnie and Clyde--Norton has directed and starred in Keeping the Faith, a genially wistful romantic comedy about two guys and the girl they've always loved. If this old-fangled triangle about a priest (Norton), a rabbi (Ben Stiller) and a dynamic executive (Jenna Elfman) proves as popular as early previews suggest, it will give further credence to the belief that Norton is blessed. After just seven films, this Yale grad...
