The 1984 film Draw! is a Western comedy that stars Kirk Douglas, James Coburn, and Alexandra Bastedo. The film tells the story of Harry Hollaran, a veteran gunslinger who is hired by a town to teach its residents how to defend themselves against a gang of outlaws who have been terrorizing the community. Harry Hollaran, played by Kirk Douglas, is a legendary gunslinger who is now retired and living a peaceful life in a small town. However, when the townspeople learn that a group of outlaws is headed their way, they become worried and seek Harry's help. At first, Harry is reluctant to get involved, but when he realizes that the townspeople are in real danger, he agrees to help them.

Harry soon discovers that the townspeople are all terrible shots and that they are in desperate need of his help. He sets up a training camp for them and teaches them how to shoot, how to draw their guns quickly, and how to use cover effectively.

As Harry trains the town's residents, he also develops a relationship with a widow named Liza, played by Alexandra Bastedo. The two begin to fall in love, but their relationship is complicated by the presence of a rival gunslinger, played by James Coburn.

The film is full of classic Western tropes, including shootouts, bank robberies, and barroom brawls. However, what sets Draw! apart from other Westerns is its comedic tone. The film is filled with witty one-liners and humorous situations that will have audiences laughing from beginning to end.

Kirk Douglas delivers a great performance as Harry Hollaran, the grizzled gunslinger who is tough as nails but has a heart of gold. James Coburn is also excellent as the rival gunslinger, who is both charming and dangerous. Alexandra Bastedo provides a strong female presence in the film and holds her own against the male leads.

The film's visuals are stunning, with beautiful shots of the Western landscape and well-choreographed action sequences. The score, composed by Jerrold Immel, is also excellent and complements the film's tone perfectly.

Overall, Draw! is an entertaining and enjoyable Western comedy that is sure to delight fans of the genre. The film's blend of action, humor, and romance make it a unique entry into the Western canon and a must-watch for fans of Kirk Douglas, James Coburn, and Alexandra Bastedo.
