Shane
EUA, 1953
Dir.: George Stevens
"Shane is painted in broad strokes, but the picture is vivid. Alan Ladd stars as the title character, a mysterious drifter who signs on as ranch hand for Joe Starrett (Van Heflin) a put-upon homesteader who’s being harassed by Mr. Ryker (Emile Meyer), an evil, land-grubbing cattle baron. When Shane’s quietly intimidating presence drives Ryker’s men away from the homestead, the drifter becomes a hero to Starrett’s young son, Joey (Brandon De Wilde). It’s soon evident that Shane is a former gunslinger who’s trying to reform, but the battle for possession of Ryker’s land leads to a series of showdowns with Starrett’s men, including a menacing, steely-eyed killer famously played by Jack Palance with a minimum of dialogue. Stevens explores the key myths of the West while keeping the film emotionally grounded via the youngster who adores Shane’s quiet masculinity. Whether you buy all of it or not, Shane is the real McCoy- a powerful cinematic myth with a stoic hero at its center who simply wants to do the right thing." Paul Tatara
