Classic Westerns Collection (3pc)
A trio of boots-and-saddles biggies in one little box. In Shane, George Stevens's film about the archetypal outsider, Alan Ladd stars as a gunfighter who befriends a family of settlers battling the ranching interests. Watch for Jack Palance as the snakiest gunslinger ever. Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is one of the better retellings of the story of the Earps and the Clantons; though a shade stodgy, it features a pair of strong performances by Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp and particularly Kirk Douglas as the consumptive Doc Holliday. John Ford's The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance features outstanding performances by John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Lee Marvin in the story of a peaceful man who stands up to a bully, a tale that touches on the way the Old West mythologized itself. --Marshall Fine
