GUN FEVER 1958 (TUBI)

Boy have I read a lot of bad press about this movie.

Mark Stevens is Luke Rand, a man whose parents were killed in an Indian raid by a white man who stole some furs.

He teams with Simon (John Lupton) and they set off to find the killer or killers. Several times they get close to the end of their search and Simon seems kind of hesitant to continue.

We discover that Simon was part of the gang that killed Lukes' parents, but he didn't actually take part in the killing. In fact, he has been looking for his old partners as well as he also has a score to settle.

This has a more complex plot than most of the people who tear this film apart realise. There are many twists and turns and the final showdown isn't too bad at all. I think this film should please western fans.

It was shot on a very low budget, but that doesn't make it bad, and the actors handle their roles very well. Stevens handled the directing chores as well and gets the job done.

The rest of the cast includes Larry Storch, Maureen Hingert, Dean Fredericks, Cyril Delevanti, Eddie Little Sky and Iron Eyes Cody. Check it out. It's not as bad as people say.
