Additional InformationGeorge Stevens' classic Western, adaptated from the Jack Schaefer novel, stars Alan Ladd in the title role. Riding the ranges of Wyoming's Grand Tetons, Shane stops at the farm of homesteader Joe Starrett (Van Heflin) just before Ryker (Emile Meyer), a powerful and predatory cattleman, arrives with his hired muscle to make the farmer a threatening offer for land that he intends to get by any means necessary. When Shane lets the cattle baron know that his gun will back Starrett if there's any trouble, the grateful homesteader offers the stranger a job as a hired hand, which he accepts. Joe's young son Joey (Brandon de Wilde) is drawn to the quiet stranger, whose difference from the men he knows is confirmed by the accidental revelation of a gunfighter's lightning reflexes. Shane becomes a valuable asset to the farm, but is slowly drawn into the continuing hostilities between the two opposing groups. To complicate matters, Shane feels an unspoken, and unwanted, attraction to Starrett's wife Marian (Jean Arthur). This creates a sense of ambivalence in Joe, whose son already idolizes the gunslinger. Stevens' meticulous artistry imbues the simple Western with the mythic aura of an Arthurian legend, as Loyal Griggs' beautifully composed images provide the canvas for career performances by Ladd, Heflin, Arthur, and de Wilde, in what many regard as the finest western ever made.

  • Perfect - the name of the man who would make things happen for the good of homesteaders being bullied from their homes

    This movie is one of the best Westerns that ever reached the silver screen and sbould have won an Oscar in the year it was released. The storyline is engaging and the actors chosen to play their parts in the movie are superb. The closing sequences will bring a tear to your eye.

  • Classic movie.

    I remember watching this movie many years ago, a typical Sunday afternoon western . Now many years later, at the age of 53 I finally bought the movie that had me glued to the screen. A great film, with fine acting all round. I did hear from my late Dad, that Alan Ladd who plays the retired gun slinger was only filmed from his knees up to disguise the fact he was short. You judge for yourself...a great movie.

  • Good family film

    I enjoyed the film, they don`t make them like that anymore. Brilliant actors, brilliant story, no swearing and the film was credible - it looked like the wild west and the fistfights and gunfights were brilliant, they were always going to be with Alan Ladd and Jack Palance in it.

  • The title , Shane, is the name of the hero of the film. Simple but great.

    Uncomplicated story of good against bad, but without the unnecessary wanton violence of modern films.
