"Shane"

(1/2) > >>

PJ Hardtack:
"Shane" was on the toob recently and of course I had to watch it - again for the umpteenth time. Love it even tho' Alan Ladd just seemed too squeaky clean to have been a gun fighter.

The two brawls in the movie have to be the best ever in a western movie!

Jack Palance was the epitome of a cold hearted killer. All the Cowboys looked the part.

The backdrop of the Grand Teton mountains added greatly, the way they just rise up out of the plain.

"Shane! Come back, Shane!"

c.o.jones:
GOOD MOVIE........COULD NOT STAND THE KID OR THE WIFE.

PJ Hardtack:
Agreed! Brandon Dewilde was insipid and so was his Mom.

Van Heflin played the part well, but he could have been a little sharper in noticing the chemistry between his wife and Shane.

Niederlander:
I remember watching the movie as a kid, and I couldn't STAND that kid even then!  Good movie otherwise.......

Mogorilla:
Pale Rider is essentially the same story with a more mystical bent Andy had the same issue with it, girl was annoying.  Mother in Pale Rider was a bit more believable.   Parlance, Van Cleef, Elam would have been a fearsome group if the could have paired them as the antagonists.
