George Stevens' classic Western. All the archetypal themes are there ( good vs evil, nature vs civilization, justice and morality ) all beautifully written, photographed, and performed. Took me a few re watches to realize, the whole movieGeorge Stevens' classic Western. All the archetypal themes are there ( good vs evil, nature vs civilization, justice and morality ) all beautifully written, photographed, and performed. Took me a few re watches to realize, the whole movie is from the point of view of the little boy. Which is why much of the movie is larger than life : Alan Ladd plays one of moviedom's greatest heros, and Jack Palance plays one of the meanest villains, and the sound effects of gunfire are so amplified and punched up. It's commonplace nowdays, but back in 1953, SHANE featured probably the first time in movie history, the explosive roar of gun blasts that shake the screen like true hand cannons.… Expand

A classic western movie with a good story and beautiful landscape. Also the ryker gang is very mean and their evil actions are more psychological than through killing.
But the pace is sometimes too slow.

The corrector of injustices, now unfounded in cowboy garb. There is nothing better than an old school western, and with what makes it typical: the tavern brawl, to go no further. Good option for a weekend.
