Released in 1953, Shane is one of the “classic” Westerns that a lot of people know about. The first time I was aware was in 1998 when The Negotiator came out. If you haven’t seen it, Spacey and Jackson reference this in the film. I’ve always wondered what the film was about and I finally saw it.
This isn’t the kind of Western you’d see when thinking about a classic Clint Eastwood or Charles Bronson film. It’s also not one of the Western musicals that I can’t stand. It’s just one of those wholesome stories that’s common of that era.
Checking out IMDB, I saw that Shane is played by Alan Ladd who also starred in the show Branded. That’ll mean something to all of you Lebowski fans. Van Heflin was in the original 3:10 to Yuma and Jack Palance, the fitness guru, is also in this film.
I have to admit I wasn’t super impressed , but I didn’t dislike it either. A guy named Shane comes to town and starts helping out the Starrett family. Shane then stands up for them when some “bullies” start pushing them around. Eventually everything comes to fruition and there’s a gun battle at the end. Pretty much your standard Western flick.
I’d say definitely watch this if you want to know what people are talking about if the film is ever mentioned. If you’re not really into Westerns, older films, or just don’t care, you might not get into this one.
