About this product

Product Information

George Stevens' classic Western, adaptated from the Jack Schaefer novel, stars Alan Ladd in the title role. Riding the ranges of Wyoming's Grand Tetons, Shane stops at the farm of homesteader Joe Starrett (Van Heflin) just before Ryker (Emile Meyer), a powerful and predatory cattleman, arrives with his hired muscle to make the farmer a threatening offer for land that he intends to get by any means necessary. When Shane lets the cattle baron know that his gun will back Starrett if there's any trouble, the grateful homesteader offers the stranger a job as a hired hand, which he accepts. Joe's young son Joey (Brandon de Wilde) is drawn to the quiet stranger, whose difference from the men he knows is confirmed by the accidental revelation of a gunfighter's lightning reflexes. Shane becomes a valuable asset to the farm, but is slowly drawn into the continuing hostilities between the two opposing groups. To complicate matters, Shane feels an unspoken, and unwanted, attraction to Starrett's wife Marian (Jean Arthur). This creates a sense of ambivalence in Joe, whose son already idolizes the gunslinger. Stevens' meticulous artistry imbues the simple Western with the mythic aura of an Arthurian legend, as Loyal Griggs' beautifully composed images provide the canvas for career performances by Ladd, Heflin, Arthur, and de Wilde, in what many regard as the finest western ever made.

  • Disc is in excellent condition, which is...

    Disc is in excellent condition, which is most important. Case was ok but may have been water damaged... no problem. I have old good cases and can download cover inserts for any movie. So, it looks and works like brand new!

  • The Great Western

    This is one of the Great Westerns of American Cinema. Filmed in large part near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, with the Grand Tetons as a backdrop, it is visually aesthetic before a word is spoken. Alan Ladd is Shane, a sure handed gunman who comes across a homestead under siege by local cattle barons. Van Heflin, the courageous, out numbered rancher holding on to his dreams. Jean Arthur, the farm wife, who brings beauty and elegance to a role no longer projected in modern cinema. Their will opposed, the cattle barons send for Jack Palance, who turns in a commanding role as the hired range assassin. It all adds up to one of the great, archetypal westerns made for a generation which has slipped into history. Shane, Stagecoach, the Searchers and High Noon all belong in the American Western Hall of Fame. If you enjoy a good western, you will love Shane.

  • The movie was as good as I remember

    This is a classic western that I remember watching growing up. It includes an all star cast with Alan Ladd playing the lead role. The dvd itself was in almost new condition and a nice addition to my collection.

  • The above says it all for me. Great movies. Don't know how to respond to "Pictures ---" below.

    "SHANE:" Scenic, characters exemplify human qualities, both good and bad. Reminds me of my late father, who took me to see this movie, and who took me, in the summer of 1955, to Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons, near the filming site. This is one of my all-time favorite movies. "THE HOMESMAN:" Believable, compassionate, heroic portrayal of ghastly realities in the historic West. Important historical fiction for humanitarians.

  • A decent movie.

    Frankly, it's not better than expected, and I never said that it was. I've seen it at least twice before buying this DVD. My 4-star rating was based on my general opinion of the movie, NOT on being better or worse than any arbitrary standard.

  • SHANE

    One of my favorite westerns. The scenery, the barroom brawl and final shootout with Jack Palance and the Ryker brothers is classic. 5 stars. :^)
