The Last of the Fast Guns

Maysaa AliNov 16, 2022

*** This review may contain spoilers *** The Last of the Fast Guns (1958) isn't a bad Western and the location is gorgeous, I think that's what pulls it through. At the start, two gunfighters shoot it out in town and the winner is invited to speak with an old man. He offers the winning gunfighter a job, to go look for his lost brother, who disappeared in Mexico. Jock Mahoney plays the gunfighter, he isn't very magnetic or interesting, but nonetheless he possesses the gunfighter creed. Mexican actor Gilbert Roland is here as well, the same as usual, being suave and smoking a lot. He works for Lorne Greene, who is gone for most of the picture. the gunfighter looks for the supposed-dead brother and finds a bit of a mystery. The ending was rather contrived, but it isn't a horrible picture.

Jock Mahoney is at his best in this one. Lorne Greene and other notables round this one out

A gunfighter combs Mexico for the missing brother of an industrialist, and gets the usual discouragement and trouble in the form of flying lead! Slightly unusual western that plods a little and can be talky, however there are some punchy dialogue, good location atmosphere and Gilbert Roland, who can make anything watchable- Jock Mahoney makes a good hero, straight to the point and staccato in delivery. Ok western, passes the time adequately, though there's a neat twist at the end.

Classic, archetypal hero. Plot twist at the end, which some anticipate and some don't. One of the fastest draws shown in any film. Ending a bit disappointing, as final confrontation is short and not settled with firearms. For fans of the genre, a must-see.

Gunfighter Miles is hired to go south of the border to find a dying man's missing brother. However, things are more complicated than they seem. Generally underrated western, with good scenic Mexican locations, a non-clichéd plot, along with a few good twists and a colorful cast. Getting Roland, Greene and Franz was a real coup since each is a very distinctive presence. Mahoney certainly looks the part of a western hero, but is a rather bland actor, not to the extent of being a problem, however. Director Sherman makes creative and compelling use of the locations and I especially like the shack set against the cliff; it's like nothing else I've seen. Unlike many oaters set in Mexico, this one comes across as genuinely persuasive. Cristal's role (Maria), surprise, surprise, is little more than eye candy, but I don't blame Ellison (Mahoney) at fade-out. Anyway, don't let the first tame 20-minutes or so fool you, the twists and action pick up considerably.

This is a western but the plot could be that of a film noir ,a thriller: a wealthy man in a wheelchair hires a gunfighter to find back his brother and heir;he probably won't live that long and he does not want his fortune to fall into the hands of an unscrupulous associate. The story is a quest and the identity of the brother which I will not reveal of course, for it's one of the few surprises of the film, is a bit unexpected ,but all in all,makes sense .The female star,Linda Cristal has not really many things to do (except for a bath in her birthday's suit ,but no close shots!);Lorne Greene as his dad has not much to do either.

After viewing the fast draw at the waterhole many times in freeze-frame, I think it was faked. Looks like Mahoney started his draw with his gun out of his holster, and the sound of the gun clearing the holster was added post-production. Just my take on it. Superior-to-great script, charged dialog. Hate to say it, but the ending was a disappointment. The anticipated gunfight was short and the fight was resolved by other means. Better if Mahoney had just shot him dead. No film is perfect. When I was in Japan, this film was shown a number of times on their TV. The Japanese were big on things like friendship/betrayal. Give it a 9 because of the way it ended. Highly recommended.

This movie features one of the smartest Western scripts from the time, with a terrific plot line, sharp dialogs, and believable characters. The ending, as has been commented upon, is indeed “short and not settled with firearms,” but there’s three excellent reasons it had to be that way, related to character, plot, and story arch, respectively. I don’t want to spoil any of it, but you’ll see when you see it. You could say, though, that the script’s a little bit too tight-knit/too smart toward the end and maneuvered itself into some predictability. But everything else makes up for it. Another thing I liked about this ’58 movie was that it pretty much managed to avoid stereotyping, endemic to so many Westerns set against the background of the Rio Grande neighborhood. So I guess 9 out of 10 stars would be a fair call.
