CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Shane (Alan Ladd) is offered water by Joe Starrett (Van Heflin) as he passes by their farm.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The simple story of a Wyoming range war is elevated to near-mythical status in producer/director George Stevens' Western classic Shane. Alan Ladd plays the title character, a mysterious drifter who rides into a tiny homesteading community and accepts the hospitality of a farming family. Patriarch Joe Starrett (Van Heflin) is impressed by the way Shane handles himself when facing down the hostile minions of land baron Emile Meyer, though he has trouble placing his complete trust in the stranger, as his Marion (Jean Arthur) is attracted to Shane in spite of herself, and his son Joey (Brandon De Wilde) flat-out idolizes Shane. When Meyer is unable to drive off the homesteaders by sheer brute strength, he engages the services of black-clad, wholly evil hired gun Jack Wilson (Jack Palance). The moment that Wilson shows he means business by shooting down hotheaded farmer Frank Torrey (Elisha Cook Jr.) is the film's most memorable scene: after years of becoming accustomed to carefully choreographed movie death scenes, the suddenness with which Torrey's life is snuffed out -- and the force with which he falls to the ground -- are startling. Shane knows that a showdown with Wilson is inevitable; he also knows that, unintentionally, he has become a disruptive element in the Starrett family. The manner in which he handles both these problems segues into the now-legendary "Come back, Shane" finale. Cinematographer Loyal Griggs imbues this no

Best Western and best movie ever made , the cinematography is just breath taking.

One of the strengths, ( so many in this timeless classic) is the use of sound, rarely has a film made better use of it.

Been dying to find the ONE scene of this i love where shanes helping push down the tree trunk and marion suggests hitching a horse team then joe dismisses her words "marion i been fighting this thing off and on for the last 7(?) Years, sometimes there aint nothing thatll do but your own...SWEAT AND MUSCLE!" And they push it down. Inspired me to much to work harder and harder
