A Tally of Mayhem, part 4
A bank robbery in which a nerd is called out avant la lettre. Gunplay: the nerd throws himself in there and appears a hero. Joseph Cotten cracking wise about his fiance, grills the nerd, gets the truth. Gunplay outside the nerd's apartment. The nerd's wife falls to the floor. Vengeance killing: a guard, a farmer, and Mr. avant la lettre. Vengeance stalking: Joseph Cotten's wife. The nerd, full of holes, face down in a dress on the Cotton family's manicured lawn.
A very young Charles Bronson holds up a gas station, kidnaps a friend and his wife, tortures a drunken veterinarian, and gets shot. Some other people in the movie watch him with either approval or disapproval.
