The 1956 film "The Fastest Gun Alive" is a Western film about a man living in a small town who is believed by townspeople to be a former gunman. George Temple (Glenn Ford) and his wife Dora (Jeanne Crain) run a store in a small town. George has a mental problem and when some men in a bar start talking about famous gunfighters, he produces a pistol, takes the men outside, and proceeds to shoot two silver dollars thrown into the air. Three outlaws ride into the town and one, Vinnie Harold (Broderick Crawford), brags about being a "top gun." Vinnie hears about George and challenges him to a gun fight.

George shows them to the men.

George invites two men to throw the coins into the air and proceeds to shoot both of the coins. Vinnie Harold (Broderick Crawford) and two other outlaws ride into town. The three men enter a saloon and encounter a little boy who hands the silver dollars to Vinnie.

The boy tells Vinnie that there is a better gunfighter in town. A third man has some stolen money on a table and is counting it.

The prop bills appear to be nicely done notes and not the common Mexican Revolution note copies. The prop coins are Los Angeles Rubber Stamp Company prop coins of various sizes.
