Gun smoke in Tucson
As young boys, two brothers, Jed (AKA: Chip) and John, witness their father being hung by a vigilante gang. Chip, angry and bitter, grows up to be an outlaw and leader of the feared Blue Chip Gang. John goes the other way and becomes a U. S. Marshal. Two brothers on opposite sides of the law, destined to become embroiled in an Arizona range war between cattlemen and farmers.
Gunsmoke in Tucson is a formulaic yet watchable western with a brother-against-brother theme which plays out against a plot that mixes fistfights and shootouts with questions of guilt and redemption. There's a tendency of talkiness, but enough things happen in the plot to keep the wheels turning, though towards the end the pace lags. Good performances, characterisation and some nice action scattered here and there lifts this above the average sagebrush actioner. Forest Tucker as Mark Steven's' brother is great as usual though hasn't got much screen time. Mark Stevens, who I think fits the genre really well with his gaunt features and laconic style, does really well, though that mustard colour of his outfit looks dodgy.
