Day of the Evil Gun (1968) Upscale 1080p DVD x265 HEVC AC3-SARTRE

Gunslinger Lorn Warfield (Glenn Ford) returns home after a three year absence to discover his family has been kidnapped by hostile Apaches. Intent on rescue, Lorn joins forces with Owen Forbes, a rancher who despises him but desires his wife, Angie (Barbara Babcock). As the duo move deeper and deeper into the circles of a hellish West, the gunslinger turns ever more to the ways of peace, while a savage fury awakens in the heart of the rancher. Ford ably personifies the dark and dangerous stranger while character great Arthur Kennedy brings a deft everyman touch to the role of the increasingly brutal Forbes. Dean Jagger and cult favorite Harry Dean Stanton are among the picture's additional delights. Day of the Evil Gun was produced and directed by noted TV producer Jerry Thorpe (Harry O, Kung Fu, Falcon Crest), whose father, Richard Thorpe, retired after making Glenn Ford's previous picture (also a Western), The Last Challenge (1967). The film was shot in Mexico by W. Wallace Kelley, the cinematographer of twelve Jerry Lewis pictures during this decade. He also did special effects work on Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958) and the sci-fi classic The War of the Worlds (1953).
