I have to (respectfully) disagree with the assessment that JW had anything other than a friendly relationship with Gail.
He was supportive of her, because she was in a very fragile state. By this time in his life, he was over that business.
As for Chata pulling a gun on him - she did that more than once, and she was constantly accusing him of sleeping with any woman that even glanced his way, in addition to any mention (by him) of other women, no matter the context.
She was jealous of his ever growing fame, as she had (even before they met) already had her "moment" in the cinematic sun...
Most people associated with BOTH movies they made together assert their eyewitness accounts to JW's & GR's platonic relationship.
