About this movie

Acclaimed director George Stevens' legendary rendition of the quintessential Western myth earned six Academy Award. nominations, and made Shane one of the classics of the American cinema. The story brings Alan Ladd, a drifter and retired gunfighter, to the assistance of a homestead family terrorized by a wealthy cattleman and his hired gun (Jack Palance). In fighting the last decisive battle, Shane sees the end of his own way of life. Mysterious, moody and atmospheric, the film is enhanced by the intense performances of its splendid cast.

Ratings and reviews

This movie was made in the year I was born. I can watch it over and over again and never get bored. Haven't watched many Alan Ladd movies but this must be his best. Jack Palance plays a great part and the shootout at the end is full of suspense.

The ending of this western always brings a tear, it's a great film and one of my favourites.

Best western ever made.Tension in bar i could almost feel it .
