Gun Glory (1957)


MGM
Directed by Roy Rowland
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Well-worn story of ex-gunslinger trying to go straight. He returns to Wyoming only to find his wife dead and son resentful. Somehow he talks the very attractive woman at the local store to move in and work for him. Tensions mount as father and son have problems with each other and the new lady. Meanwhile back in town, the preacher is having second thoughts about depending on God to keep a cattle drive from ruining everyone, and tries to get the gunslinger to help. Not bad per se, but very familiar, and Steve Rowland as the son is terrible.
