Day Of The Evil Gun (1968)(dvd)

Synopsis: Originally planned as a TV movie, this western starts out as an unofficial and wholly competent remake of The Searchers. Glenn Ford and Arthur Kennedy bond surprisingly well as they survive all manner of perils in a bid to rescue Ford's family from the Apache, and there's solid support from the underrated Dean Jagger as an untrustworthy Indian trader.

But then the action takes an unexpected and rather improbable turn, which, while exciting enough, seems to have nothing to do with the rest of the story. Shame about the title, too.
