Son of a Gunfighter (1965)

MGM
Directed by  Paul Landres
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Russ Tamblyn heads to Mexico to track down the outlaw who killed his mother. He gets wounded in a shootout and recovers at the hacienda of friendly Fernando Rey and his family, including his pretty daughter Maria Granada, who naturally falls in love with the young gunslinger. After he recovers, Tamblyn heads into the mountains with a posse to root out the bandits. Instead, he finds his father has joined the gang. There is the inevitable shootout and an ambush in a canyon involving boulders and powder kegs. Bland, vague and poorly constructed, I still don't know who shot his mother, supposedly the main plot point.
