SHANE is worth it just to watch Jack Palance. It also had one of the first true to life shootings, of Elisha Cook. No “Bang”, then the shot person falls and bloodlessly rolls out of the scene. We see him blown back and into the mud.

He had witnessed soldiers being hit and wanted to make it realistic in Shane.

Palance is perfect, but can’t carry the film by himself, and Alan Ladd is no cowboy.
