Shane (George Stevens & Fred Guiol, 1953)

8/10
Very enjoyable classic Western that, like The Ox-Bow Incident which I "reviewed" recently, deals with themes stil relevant to its time. Interesting to note how ahead of its time it was, introducing a villain who would become the prototype for several other spaghetti Western villains down the line.
Clint Eastwood would pretty much remake this verbatim with Pale Rider but Shane is the far better film.
