After producer Walter Wanger began suspecting his wife, Joan Bennett, of having an affair with her agent, he hired a private eye and found they were spending time in New Orleans, the Caribbean and a Beverly Hills apartment. This is what happened next:
He was one of the most flamboyant figures in Hollywood, a man-about-town, womanizer and famed producer whose pictures included 1939’s. But by the early 1950s, Walter Wanger’s career was on the skids. A guy who liked to live as large as his films, he’d declared bankruptcy and was now trying to get into television — while being dogged by creditors who didn’t believe the bankruptcy was real. "Walter was in his worst position ever," says granddaughter and filmmaker Vanessa Hope.
Furious, the producer grabbed a gun and set out on the lovers’ trail. When he found his wife’s green Cadillac in the parking lot of Lang’s agency, MCA, he decided to circle around. An hour later, the car was still there — and so was Wanger when the actress and the agent emerged. The December 1951 shooting did no long-term harm — at least not to Lang or Wanger or even Hollywood , though Bennett’s career was never the same. Slut-shaming was even more common in the Hollywood of the '50s than it is now.and 1973’s. Despite industry lore that Lang was shot in the balls, the bullet missed his vitals and he remained a fully functioning male, says his son, filmmaker and historian Rocky Lang. “I’m living proof,” he quips.
