Despite many film adaptations of the Old West outlaw Billy the Kid, Paul Newman's portrayal in an Arthur Penn classic is one of the most inaccurate.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One of Paul Newman's classic Western films continued one mythical misconception about the infamous outlaw Billy the Kid. The real-life William H. Bonney generated a great deal of legendary tales and hyperbolized feats during his brief 21-year life that often deviated from historical accounts in various films and television adaptations.
Newman's over-the-top performance of Billy the Kid's personality wasn't even the most inaccurate part of his portrayal of the character in The Left Handed Gun. The entire concept of the film itself is based on the common misconception that the real William H. Bonney was left-handed, when in fact he was right-handed.
The reversed photograph made Bonney's hostler appear as if it rested on his left hip when it was actually on his right. The entire concept of Bonney being left-handed was eventually debunked, much like the mythical notion that Billy the Kid killed 21 men during his short life.
