The Fastest Gun Alive – 1956 Glenn Ford

Another Box Office hit – at this time Glenn Ford had a run of Westerns that were VERY good indeed

Directed by Russell Rouse

Glenn Ford made so many terrific Westerns around this time — Jubal (1956), 3:10 To Yuma (1957), Cowboy (1958), The Sheepman 1958 etc.

Glenn Ford was perfect for this role as he played the part of a reluctant gunfighter but was uneasy that he was saddled with the fact he was fast with a gun. That in itself makes for a good Western and this one hits the bullseye

It’s a really terrific with and George Folsey’s cinematography outstanding. I just wish that it had been in colour and wonder now – has it been colorised ?

The answer is YES – that means that I just have to get it as soon as I can

The original Trailer ABOVE is nothing like as exciting as it should be – I thInk that MGM could have made a much better job than this.

Now Colourised
