great early randolph scott movie even if it doesn’t follow the book to the letter….shame they didn’t use color film back then for it would have been a much better film if it had been in color
As I am new to this forum is there a way to remove my comment as I have made a mistake on one detail regarding Shane and would like to add a corrected version, about his guns.

Yes you can ad a different post . I have not posted the other one yet .
Apologies for not editing before posting.
If you see the film without reading the book then it’s one of the greats, without doubt. I have read the book twice because I like it so much. I was not too impressed with the character of Shane is different in the film as it’s different from the book. Shane wore black and never wore his holster which had two guns. He kept it wrapped up and only wore it when he went to face the gunfighter. As a stand alone film, aider is right, they don’t make them like this any more. If you haven’t read the book, then enjoy the film as it is.
Never seen it before but had heard of it, kept me glued through the end its enjoyable and decent too bad, presently no one makes these kind of movies anymore thanx for making it possible to watch on your website.
Thanks for having this film available on your site. I never get tired of watching it. It did stop numerous times while I was playing it but don’t know if it was my provider or the browser (Firefox) I was using that caused the problem. Even so, a wonderful film and a wonderful site. Thanks for providing it.
will you be getting” SHANE” in the near future?
