Product 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.
Amazon.com essential video:
Consciously crafted by director George Stevens as a piece of American mythmaking, Shane is on nearly everyone's shortlist of great movie Westerns. A buckskin knight, Shane (Alan Ladd) rides into the middle of a range war between farmers and cattlemen, quickly siding with the "sod-busters." While helping a kindly farmer (Van Heflin), Shane falls platonically in love with the man's wife (Jean Arthur, in the last screen performance of a marvelous career). Though the showdowns are exciting, and the story simple but involving, what most people will remember about this movie is the friendship between the stoical Shane and the young son of the farmers. The kid is played by Brandon De Wilde, who gives one of the most amazing child performances in the movies; his parting scene with Shane is guaranteed to draw tears from even the most stonyhearted moviegoer. And speaking of stony hearts, Jack Palance made a sensational impression as the evil gunslinger sent to clean house--he has fewer lines of dialogue than he has lines in his magnificently craggy face, but he makes them count. The photography, highlighting the landscape near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, won an Oscar. --Robert Horton

I saw this movie for the first time more than a year ago. I've forgotten the storyline, the incidents, the details. But the sheer EXPERIENCE of watching the movie lingers in my heart. There are westerns that are grander (John Ford), more stylish (Sergio Leone), more sophisticated (Anthony Mann); but to me Shane is the most beautiful, the most affecting, the most luminous. It is among the most beautiful movies ever made. The longer time passes without me re-watching it, the greater it looms in my ... Read More

"Shane" is a Western with a good story behind it. It presents the tale of a gunslinger wanting to cast off his past and joins up with a family of peaceful settlers. Unfortunantly, a powerful local man wants to keep the range open instead of having settlers move in and make claims. He eventually send for a hired gun (Jack Palance in a famous villianous performance). Meanwhile, the young boy in the family begins to look up to Shane as a role model which is both good and bad. Eventually, the film ... Read More

I guess if it's okay for her to get choked up watching all that Jane Austen stuff, then it's okay for me to have to fight back a few tears while watching little Joey run after his hero.
SHANE is one of the best westerns ever made. It captures the essence of this American mythology and offers superb quality in a such a wide array which one rarely sees anymore. For instance, the acting was just right; never over-the-top, never one-dimensional and boring, and never emotionally manipulative. ... Read More

Shane was indeed a classic western film. The photography was excellent. I especially liked the fact that the women were not dressed up in clean clothes with modern make-up, making them look like an anachronism, as is done in many westerns. THe constuming was more realistic. Alan Ladd did a great job, and the boy was great also.
