People don’t know today, but the show had all star cast. Good acting and Alan Ladd was perfect for the part. I think it’s one of the best westerns ever made. Realistic gun shots and so on. Scenery as spectacular too. Just a excellent movie.
The scenery is the Grand Tetons just north of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at the movie again years later. Some of the most beautiful, in my eyes, part of the United States.

I, like so many others, saw the movie when it came out in 1953. It left such a lasting impression on me. I was six years old at the time. I had to have a gun and a "quick draw" holster. I think all the kids (boys) were cowboys, Indians, cops or robbers then. No girls, they used to be girls then. My parents bought me the whole outfit and the clothes to match. They even took pictures of me on a pony. By the time I was eight I was the fastest kid on the block. The last scene where the boy keeps calling Shane to come back is still emotional for me.... 67 years later.
Fantastic times back then, I remember most Sundays after the cowboy film on television every kid from the road would get dressed in there cowboy outfits and guns banging with the red paper caps hiding in gardens, Great times. Now the gunfire is real. Sign of the times.
I felt that the script is flawless; I have a copy with me. Old style writing but perfect. Many movies tried to model bits and pieces of Shane and adapted it into their films. The most noticeable one is 'The Unforgiven'. Clint obviously, did a good job of expanding some of the elements.
the best western ever & the best gunfight ever - me 75 now - saw it with my dad n brother when it came to Lorain Ohio - every time it would come as a second feature of a dbl. we would go - read the book in the 8th Grade Hawthorne Jr. High Lorain Ohio - different than the movie - audio book here on You Tube abridged version
Just for the record, Ewing Brown died in 2019, a couple of years after this video was uploaded. He was 97. Actually some of the children in the movie are still alive. One, Beverly Washburn, has had a long, full-fledged (if not spectacular) career in Hollywood.
No sex scenes ( just a hint of what might happen ) No Cussin.What a great movie.In our truck depot we had a guy who was the dead spit of Ladd as say in his early 50s , strange but true his name was Alan.Boy he was a hit with women.Married or single it did not bother him.One day we were on a truck run and i was going to go home for a few hours on way back to the depot ,he was running trucks with me.He said i will come home with you for a coffee and meet your beautiful wife .I said in a jokey way , forget it man i know too much about your reputation with the ladies , no way you coming home with me.He laughed and went his way
Actually, they were nominated but only the cinematographer, Loyal Griggs, won an Oscar. Nominated for best picture, best director, best supporting actor x2 (Palance, DeWilde). Definitely should've won more, including best picture.

I remember one of the gang in the fight scene where had a sort of beard,but he was in a couple of scenes I remember.he was just one of the Ryker men.where the name charley Ryker comes in I don't know because there are no ending credits at the end of the movie just the paramount logo.
@@johneyon5257 not my words. Just saying the credits are clear and the guy is representing something not on record anywhere. Maybe it was discussed and maybe he's exercising selective memory to jazz a story that is good by itself: that he was in Shane; in the saloon; met all the legendary people involved. No need to make yourself a Ryker if there's zero evidence or credit. Maybe if they told him that's who he should think of himself as (for some reason?) in that scene...even if not to be credited.
@@teller1290 - evidence is strong in order to make it into IMDb - according to your logic - Alan Ladd's children weren't in the movie - cuz they were uncredited too - BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY - you are a nobody - and your claims don't hold water - his physical appearance the movie and in photos of the movie prove it - the fact that you won't acknowledge that - makes you the outlier - and perhaps a conspiracy theoriest - have you walked to the edge of the world recently - do you know there isn't one?
I in a moment of stupidity or belief that it was the remake exactly got taken to the cleaners with a terrible darkened copy that cant be seen or the dialogue heard and I was so pissed I gave it away turned out to be crap ruination of one of the best classic westerns
I don't see him listed in the cast or see a "Charley Ryker" listed anywhere as a character. Okay... I see him in the still above at 1:40. But nothing in movie or casting re Charlie Ryker or an actor by this guy's name. Hmm.
I see IMDB doesn't mention him. The name "Ryker" would indicate he'd be related in some way to Rufus and Morgan Ryker, although in what capacity I don't know, but I've watched the movie enough times to know no mention is made of them having a relative in their employment. Btw, Brandon DeWilde was young enough in the film that he could be alive today, in his 70's, but he was killed in a vehicle accident in Denver in 1972.
@@Arbeedubya I did finally find the actor but he's listed as Ryker Man or Ryker Man #1. That could be a hired hand for all I know. However, there is a bit piece (right where I can't find it on You Tube, of course, where just after Shane finishes off Chris in the saloon, they all are about to come after him when I thought I heard someone urge another guy one by name but I can't recall. It might have been when they were urging on Chris just before he was beaten, now that I think about it. Ryker later, also, tells someone to get on a "fast horse" to retrieve Jack Wilson from Cheyenne but I can't recall who that was.
@@porflepopnecker4376 he's specifically credited in film as "Ryker man," not Charley Ryker. He's a hired hand. If he was assigned the name he claims, he'd have been credited as such. Everybody else gone from film, so he just inflated his own importance a bit.
No need to get nasty. Regardless of the truth of it, he hardly "starred" in this classic movie. He was what they call a bit player with zero dialogue. Your problem is with the very classic we both enjoy; that is, they don't identify him in the credits. AND THATS ALL THERE IS TO IT. If you are a named character, even a but player with no dialogue, they put that me on the screen. The two Ryker bros were main antagonists and both had all kinds of action scenes and important dialogue (and were well known supporting actors of the era). There was no third Ryker bro, like it or not. The old gent, knowing no one is left and knowing people want to believe interesting stories or tid bits, just enhanced his role a bit! No big deal. But it's a lie and I really don't think he ought to be altering that movie's history even slightly just to bring more attention to himself. And it doesn't matter what either of us have done or not done. HE, not me, is the one making the claim. The burden was on him here.
I consider Shane the greatest Western of all time among some excellent westerns.
For Me, Shane is the greatest Western of all time 💯👏👏👏
Yes,It is.
Absolutely, hands down.

I saw the movie when it first came out in 1953. Greatest western I have ever seen .
When I saw this movie in 1953 it was loudness of the gunshots which rocked the whole theater.
"The Searchers" (1956)
Definitely one of the classics......
Remember watching it with my dad…one of the all time greats

there are many of us out there with the same feelings.
Wow ! So happy to hear your story sir ! Very nostalgic 💕
Fantastic times back then,
I remember most Sundays after the cowboy film on television every kid from the road would get dressed in there cowboy outfits and guns banging with the red paper caps hiding in gardens,
Great times.
Now the gunfire is real.
Sign of the times.
A Truly Magnificent Film.
What a great movie, my father bragged about it for years and I was like oh God and I watched it I was like yeah it’s special

Superb cast of goodies and baddies acting wise
the best western ever & the best gunfight ever - me 75 now - saw it with my dad n brother when it came to Lorain Ohio - every time it would come as a second feature of a dbl. we would go - read the book in the 8th Grade Hawthorne Jr. High Lorain Ohio - different than the movie - audio book here on You Tube abridged version
Best western ever in my opinion.
Just for the record, Ewing Brown died in 2019, a couple of years after this video was uploaded. He was 97. Actually some of the children in the movie are still alive. One, Beverly Washburn, has had a long, full-fledged (if not spectacular) career in Hollywood.
Thanks for the update. Is the DVD still available?
My aunt Edda was a teenager and had a pass to watch them shoot and she ate lunch with the cast.
One of my favorite actors.
I am.72 but saw this with dad in australia 1957 so fast draw is my lifes ambition not the deeper themes
Best western ever made

Stevens, de Wilde and palance all won academy awards but Ladd didn’t, this has to be the best western of all time,

For me Brandon deWilde is the star of the film.
You’re right. The story means nothing if not seen through the boy’s eyes. He’s a witness. And he will grow up with what he’s seen.
good
