For a few years bracketing the release date of this film, Western programs were popular on TV, and there was a fad among some of these shows for weapons gadgets. Specially altered Winchester on The Rifleman. Short-barreled, no-stock shotgun on The Rebel. Sawed-short, "mare's leg" rifle on Wanted Dead or Alive. Wyatt Earp's "Buntline Special" pistol. Shotgun Slade's signature weapon. Jim Bowie's namesake scabbard knife. These and others.
This movie emulated those TV programs with a weapons gimmick of it's own. It's a trick holster that can swiveled to allow the wearer to deal with someone coming from behind without turning around. The hired gunmen (he in the grave in the closing scene) uses the device effectively. He teaches the trick to the bigshot who hired him; that man uses it to advantage also, before his own death.

well into the present century...
Man in a hospital room opens his coat and unbuttons his shirt. He removes the monitor attachments from the comatose patient, and attaches them to his own bare chest. Smothers the patent to death with a pillow. The job done, he re-attaches the monitors, replaces pillow and coverlets. Buttons up his coat, and he's gone by the time the Nurses Station personel come in to check on the new information showing up on their monitor screens.

The client in this case -- A well-regarded actress with both TV and Bigscreen credits, including a wife role in a long-running domestic sitcom.

...as described the possibilities are finite, but let's see what happens:
*One Is A Lonely Number* (1972)
And if it helps, that title was changed to:
*Two Is A Happy Number* (1972)
...Is that helpful?

Not *Two Mules*. The graveside comment takes place in the "present day", circa 1958. It's a postscript to events that happened while the US was annexing California.

Since the late 1980s, the actor in the young PI role has racked up over 30 credits as a director, both TV and Bigscreen. In theatrical movies, he has directed several movies featuring a former SNL regular turned movie star. Also, he's an accomplished artist who has been given personal showings of his work.

stick, do you know how to use the "Watch this thread" feature to help keep up with the places where others may be waiting for a response? When someone responds where you have posted, your own Email site calls your attention to it.
A reminder, though, if you take advantage of that system: If a question is settled and there is no reason to await a response on that thread, click on the "stop watching thread" so you can avoid unneaded responses in your Email site.
This helps you keep up with the threads when you have a question pending.

Repeating and stressing an earlier clue: One performer in the cast has a name that anchors a popular trivia game.
