Winchester 73 (1950)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 92m
Director: Anthony Mann
Cast: James Stewart, Dan Duryea, Stephen McNally, Shelley Winters, Jay C. Flippen, John McIntire, Rock Hudson (Indian chief)

Synopsis:

A cowhand wins a prize new rifle in a shooting contest but is promptly robbed of it; it passes through many more pairs of hands before being restored to him.

Review:

The first of the Stewart/Mann westerns which were to dominate the genre in the Fifties: excellently paced and photographed, it uses its superb cast to showcase many staples of the form (good guy/bad guy opposites, spunky heroine, honorable cavalry sergeant, Indian trader, vengeful redskin) while permitting the more thoughtful viewer to muse on the destructive acquisitiveness which made a nation.
