Amazon.com essential video:
Consciously crafted by director George Stevens as a piece of American mythmaking, Shane is on nearly everyone's shortlist of great movie Westerns. A buckskin knight, Shane (Alan Ladd) rides into the middle of a range war between farmers and cattlemen, quickly siding with the "sod-busters." While helping a kindly farmer (Van Heflin), Shane falls platonically in love with the man's wife (Jean Arthur, in the last screen performance of a marvelous career). Though the showdowns are exciting, and the story simple but involving, what most people will remember about this movie is the friendship between the stoical Shane and the young son of the farmers. The kid is played by Brandon De Wilde, who gives one of the most amazing child performances in the movies; his parting scene with Shane is guaranteed to draw tears from even the most stonyhearted moviegoer. And speaking of stony hearts, Jack Palance made a sensational impression as the evil gunslinger sent to clean house--he has fewer lines of dialogue than he has lines in his magnificently craggy face, but he makes them count. The photography, highlighting the landscape near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, won an Oscar. --Robert Horton

For instance, the acting was just right; never over-the-top, never one-dimensional and boring, and never emotionally manipulative. ... Read More

I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE PRODUCT AND THE TIMELY MANNER IN WHICH MY ORDER WAS PROCESSED.

Shane was indeed a classic western film. The photography was excellent. I especially liked the fact that the women were not dressed up in clean clothes with modern make-up, making them look like an anachronism, as is done in many westerns. THe constuming was more realistic. Alan Ladd did a great job, and the boy was great also.

This is a believable, exciting story. The scenery is beautiful and the movie is just well-done all the way around. Alan Ladd, Jack Palance, Ben Johnson and the rest are outstanding. A gunslinger who is trying to make a new start in life thinks he's escaping to a peaceful area. Then he discovers that conflict is there too. He does his best to avoid involvement, but realizes that he is the only one who can defend the defenseless. He eventually embraces his role as a sheepdog of sorts and goes to battle the ... Read More
