...Most significant, he also exudes that insouciance that made his dialogue sound like an ad lib. When a large angry man shoots a gun at his feet, Bing simply nonchalants, "Whatta hubba." And at the end of his one big speech, telling off a pretty girl's disapproving mom with a final "Nerts!", he turns to storm out the door but instead accidentally walks into a dresser. Quickly he murmurs, "My sense of direction is a little askew," and exits. Maybe Sennett couldn't afford a Take Two, but he had to love Crosby's aplomb in the face...
...Country Girl" is part hokum, part harrowing portrait of an old performer (we won't say self-portrait). Odets' form of dramaturgy is to load the dice against the Kelly character, then let her load the gun against Crosby and Holden. Crosby is the least shrill; that is part of his drunk's cunning.

After things settled down, the jury was brought back in and Brafman continued his cross-examination. Fenderson held to his story that he saw Combs with a gun on the night of the shootings, but he was unclear on details. He said that he saw Combs pull up his "Sean John" sweat top to put a gun in his waistband, but couldn't recall whether Combs was wearing a T-shirt underneath his sweat...
...shoot a feral pig three times in the head and it will still come for you," says Glen Macris, a Sydney-based marketing consultant who has some knowledge of these things. That's shoot, Mike, as in with a gun. And last we checked, all you have is a knife on a stick...
