Shane Alan Ladd Jack Palance Spanish subtitles

"I've heard that you're a low-down Yankee liar."

Best line in a Western ever.

@Rapappport Per the spcl features in the Shane DVD Steven's Jr states his father chose the cast from the actors in his prior movies. Ladd and VanHeflin were 2nd choice after Clift and Holden backed out. You can like any western you want but remember that Shane was the division between the old cookie cutter western and the modern true to life one.From the dirty clothes to the evil dark villain.Shane has everything.The perfect western.

@mvies77

Yes, although he always had a too intense glint in his eyes, I could see Clift as Shane, but I would still much more prefere the way Alan Ladd played Shane with quiete strenght. And likewise, Van Heflin too made this the best western, much better that the then 'pretty boy' Holden could have done.

[mvies77]

@Finkelgruber Actually the thought of Clift playing Shane instead of Ladd gives me the creeps. He was an excellent actor but Shane would have been an entirely different movie.Stevens Jr,who was a very young man working with his father on the film, said the same.I feel the same as you on Holden.Heflin fit the part like a glove. I just feel the right actors were chosen in the end.For me Ladd is Shane and no one else could have given the part the depth, that quiet strength you mention and honesty.

I love when the camera follows the dog over to Wilson! George Stevens was a genius!

[BrerFox2008AD]

Yes, the best Western ever. Sure, it was fictionalized, over-dramatized, but still basically true.

Most Westerns were spaghettis. This film is better than any Eastwood Westerns, as great as some of his were.

The USA would share this film to the Russians and USSR to help them understand our history.

Hi there,

Shane is my favorite Western also, but one can not say it is better than any Eastwood movie. As with many things, it is a matter personal tastes and likes. For example, Eastwood's "Unforgiven" is certainly also a great Western, as is "High Noon" or "Once Upon the Time in the West".

[Rapappport]

@Finkelgruber As you say, "it is a matter of personal tastes and likes." Shane, by far, is the best ever. other very good ones are "High Plains Drifter," "Warlock," "One-eyed Jacks" maybe "The Fastest Gun" maybe, "Pale Rider."

Isn't it great that we have all these flicks and favorites!!

"High Noon" lack of Gary Cooper's acting. "Unforgiven" very poor type of follow-up to "Shane", sadistic and implausible.

I think we like westerns b/c they r n the past and can't hurt us now?

[Finkelgruber]

@Rapappport

Hi there, I'm glad you are still around!

Happy New Year!

I'm not sure that Clint E. saw "Unforgiven" as a 'Shane' follow-up. I thought he did that with 'Pale Rider'; and that 'pale' one showed that it is not possible to copy a true vibrant classic like 'Shane'.

In 'Unforgiven' Clint E. plays a kind of soul-less gun-fighter to show how sadistic and brutal humans can be. Or, if you like, an aged Wilson, if he had survived Shane.

[Rapappport]

@Finkelgruber wow what if Wilson had lived? I guess we both have our preferences,

Have you seen "Warlock" or "High Plains Drifter?"

[Finkelgruber]

@Rapappport

I'm sure I have seen 'Warlock' or 'High Plains Drifter', but I can't remember

anything of them, which point to your correct 'we both have our preferences' comment.

[Rapappport]

@Finkelgruber Yes we do. Try seeing them again. I think we like westerns not only for the excitement, landscapes and drama. We may like them because it's way in the past, time going by, and can not put ourselves there any more....

[Rapappport]

@Finkelgruber You can find clips of them on YouTube

Josey Wales and it was the same stuff. I don't get it.

[mikegbb]

Why are the yankees almost always portrayed as the bad guys? I just saw the outlaw

[mvies77]

Best western ever made and ever will be made. Alan Ladd performed the role perfectly and was surrounded with great character actors. Jack Palance just oozed his part of the villain with quiet darkness. Alan Ladd was a great actor and very versatile. Died way too soon. He is missed very much. RIP

[Rapappport]

@mvies77 None of them are alive now. Wouldn't it be great if one "survivor" was still extant and could tell us about how this classic movie was made?

Maybe from George Stevens Jr., but the actual director, George Stevens, who also directed "A Place in the Sun," "Giant," and "The Diary of Ann Frank," maybe others, is not with us....

All of the actors in this one did magnificently ! How did he put this team together??

[mikegbb]

Great ending to a pretty good flick
