This and High Noon are the only westerns I really like and the only ones that can make me cry. They've both got good plots, good acting and good theme tunes when most westerns in those days were lucky to have good music and certainly didn't have good plots or acting.

The great and under-rated Alan Ladd

Can't decide whether or not to put this down as Incredible or Classic, being that is is both and all...

For the fact that it strove to be THE Cattleman-vs-Sodbuster classic film, it actually succeeded for the most part. Frank Capra, in a different context, once said that if you're going to make a "Big" movie with a "Big" theme, make sure you get all the small details right so the audience doesn't lose touch with the "reality" of the situation. "Shane" LOOKS like Wyoming in the early 1890's, so we're more apt to believe the story of a knight errant with no last name as avenging angel.

@MegaHockeypuck1 You are so full of it! Shane didnt go back because he had fallen in love with Joeys mother. And he did not want to break up tyhat family, because that was what he had been wanting for himself. A plain farmer kind of life with a family. Not to be a gunfighter anymore. Cant you reason that out?

'Prove it.'
Bang! Shane!

Do you all know why Shane dosen't turn back when the little boy calls him ?
resp : because Shane was dead from his gun shot wound .
The first time I ever saw Shane it was almost like a religious experience. The movie has a "soul" above the other westerns. It also reflects perfectly the morals of our society in 1953. IMO it's pretty close to a Masterpiece.
