I basically wanted to bitch-slap Brandon De Wilde everytime he was on-screen. What an annoying little kid. How that little fucker ever got an Oscar nomination for that irritating role is beyond me.
Shane is definitely one of the best westerns ever made, though my top pick would be The Searchers.
I loved Alan Ladd, Van Heflin and Brandon de Wilde and merely liked Jack Palnce. The one who seemed out of place to me was Jean Arthur.
