Description

Acclaimed director George Stevens’ legendary rendition of the quintessential Western myth earned six Academy Award® nominations, and made Shane one of the classics of the American cinema. The story brings Alan Ladd, a drifter and retired gunfighter, to the assistance of a homestead family terrorized by a wealthy cattleman and his hired gun (Jack Palance). In fighting the last decisive battle, Shane sees the end of his own way of life. Mysterious, moody and atmospheric, the film is enhanced by the intense performances of its splendid cast.

    This is one of the classic westerns standing along side High noon, The Unforgiven and the like, although not a modern classic it still is a masterpiece of the genre and has been voted in the top 4 westerns of all time by critics on more than one occasion. If you want to only have the best films in your collection this is a must have

    Everything is O.K. until Jack Palance comes in and introduces one of the best villian ever, which makes it really good! Then the sickly boy comes in and with his winy voice screams "Shane! I Iove you, Shane!" and that ruins the whole film! Then there is a rubbish shoot out at the end, which is on the trailer by the way, with Palance flying into walls after just one shot! NOT VERY GOOD!

    A Suberb film. A must see for all connoisseurs of the western genre. An exceedingly good story line, pitch perfect performances from Alan Ladd and Jack Palance and ends with one of the best shootouts you will ever see. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
