The Last Of The Fast Guns (1958)

A gunfighter (Jock Mahoney) accepts $25,000 to track down the brother of a wealthy but dying man (Carl Benton Reid). The only clue to his whereabouts is a letter from Mexico. Eventually, the gunfighter finds what he's looking for but he also finds something more important ... his salvation. As a westerns buff, there's nothing more I love than to find some obscure western that has merit and this one is different enough to stand out from the large pack of 1950s westerns. There's enough gunplay to keep the westerns fan satisfied but the film also works quite nicely as a detective story. Neatly shot in CinemaScope by Alex Phillips Jr. (BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA) on location in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Directed by George Sherman. With Gilbert Roland, Lorne Greene, Linda Cristal, Eduard Franz and Edward Platt.
