Shane Vintage US One Sheet (R 1959)
Shane, the classic 1953 George Stevens (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) family relationship cattlemen vs. homesteaders epic cowboy western, based on the equally fine novel by Jack Schaefer. Nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award. We all know this movie is an incredible classic, but it didn't look it at the time. Originally, Montgomery Clift was to play Shane and William Holden as Joe Starrett, but the cast was changed when both those actors took other roles. It was filmed in the middle of 1951 but the studio was not pleased with it, and it was not released until 1953, after a long time of editing the movie by George Stevens. It opened at Radio City Music Hall to great success. Alan Ladd was 40 when the movie was released, and Jean Arthur was over 50 (ten years older than grizzled Emile Meyer, who played Rufe Ryker), and the movie revitalized both their careers.
