The Gun
1978, Italian. Directed by Pasquale Squitieri.
Luigi, a middle-aged engineer who, getting increasingly worried about the rising crime rate in his surroundings, follows the advice and example of his sleazy drinking cronies to arm himself with the titular weapon; the problem is that he starts carrying – and, occasionally, brandishing – it with him everywhere.
