Really is a western classic, 8 September 2004
Author: jlon from Dublin

The last in the Mann/Stewart western series. DVD review.

A decent trader travels to a small town to find out who sold repeating rifles to the Apache.

What a great movie. Everything about The Man From Laramie is memorable: the wide-screen shots, lack of close-ups, Donald Crisp (in a great role), the flawed son, the title song, Arthur Kennedy as the guardian, the violent Apache (who appear at the end), the story (with its many twists), Stewart's great dialogue, the killing of the mules and the splendid photography. Some minor drawbacks: the phony day-for-night scenes (a real '50s trademark), O'Donnell (she's not very pretty) and some of the arguments between Stewart and his foes sound silly. A fine introduction to the western (the greatest of movie genres).

The Man From Laramie is a classic western and a great movie.
