One of the best Western Films ever made. Director George Stevens should receive much of the credit. He selected an impressive cast that include Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin, Brandon De Wilde, Jack Palance, Ben Johnson, and Edgar Buchanan. No one could have been better than Alan Ladd as Shane. A gunslinger who wants to get a regular job on the farm with Van Heflin, Jean Arthur and their son Brandon de Wilde. As Shane, Alan Ladd, has both the confidence of a gunfighter and the compassion of a farmer. Brandon de Wilde is great as the son of about 10 years old who idolizes Shane. The movie was shot in Jackson Hole , Wyoming, which turns out to be a picturesque location for a western. The color photography of the cast and area around Jackson Hole will amaze you. This is truly a one of a kind Western!! I won't forget the memory of such a great script and cast all working together to make a Western Masterpiece!
