Home Sweet Homicide is an American mystery film directed by Lloyd Bacon and released in 1946. It stars Peggy Ann Garner, Randolph Scott and Lynn Bari, and was based on a mystery novel by Craig Rice. The film features the line "The Gat had gittens," referring to a handgun or machine pistol having been fired, as well as other slang terms for guns, such as "heater", "rod," and "piece." Though he would make 39 more films, Home, Sweet Homicide is the second-to-last non-western film of Randolph Scott's career.
