Glenn Ford... way after "Gilda", his best work from 1946m in my opinion. Day of the Evil Gun, with Arthur Kennedy. Ford and Kennedy are Warfield and Forbes. We learn right off that it's 1869, right after the civil war, but there's a strange connection between them; Forbes was engaged to Angie (Barbara Babcock) when Warfield was already thought to be dead. Warfield goes looking for his wife and family, and has dangerous adventures along the way. meets up with a greedy amurrican, who had dirty dealings with the apache indians, as well as the apaches themselves. and even an army outfit that isn't what it seems. Ford could play anything, so of course he's great in this one too. it's pretty good suspense. they get caught up in another showdown that doesn't really concern them, but now it does. Directed by Jerry Thorpe. didn't win any oscars, but directed and produced a good number of things. its pretty good, if you like the westerns.
