SHANE
US 1953
Language: English with English subtitles
Directed by George Stevens
Starring Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur, Jack Palance
An awesome classical western. Shane is a weary gunfighter who wants to live peacefully in his hometown. But instead, he finds himself deeply involved with the wife of his friend, Joe Starrett, and later gets involved in a brawl between villagers and the evil Rykers gang.
Cattleman Ryker wants to take the land that belongs to Starrett. As Shane decides to stand up for the settlers, epic gun fighting ensues.
"Shane" is one of those old Hollywood masterpieces that deals with seeking truth at +whatever the cost. Good and evil are easily distinguishable. At least in most cases.
