ワイオミングに暮らす、とある開拓農民の家に流れ着いたシェーン。一家の人々と心を通わすシェーンだったが、悪徳牧畜業者ライカー一味にからまれてしまい…。
(amazon.co.jp)
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.(amazon.com)
