Shane (Alan Ladd), a skilled, laconic gunslinger with a mysterious past, rides out of the desert and into an isolated valley in the sparsely settled state of Wyoming some time after the end of the Civil War. At dinner with a pioneer homesteader, Joe Starrett (Van Heflin) and his wife, Marian (Jean Arthur), he learns that a war of intimidation is being waged on the valley's homesteaders. The ruthless cattle baron Rufus Ryker (Emile Meyer) is trying to run them out and seize the land they claimed under the Homestead Acts. Starrett offers Shane a job, and he accepts.

Plot: Miles McManus is an attention deprived schizophrenic. Ted Garcia is an old rival who wakes up with a bleeding head in Miles' bathtub all tied up, only to realize the reason he is there is his alleged rape of a girl, Annabelle James, crucial to the next day that will change both their lives forever. Never sure of his actions, Miles decides to let Ted speak. Ted swears that this hideous act has never happened, and that he and Annabelle are actually seeing each other. As the grisly night continues, Miles remembers that it was Annabelle's stepfather Jonathan Rivers who had hired him, and Ted's version of the story may actually come through. Little by little both men discover the underlying motive: Money. Annabelle's mother had left a fortune to her and she is the only way that Rivers can ever get close to it. Complications further arise, and Rivers plans on getting Ted's blood along with Annabelle's on his conscience all in the name of wealth. Now Miles is forced to make a decision that could ultimately bring more harm than good to himself. The freedom of one person comes at the cost of another, and Miles is soon confronted by the kidnapping of Annabelle, which will naturally turn into murder once all the money has been transferred. Having been played for a fool, Miles vows to make things right, but soon finds that doing the right thing sometimes translates into all the right things going wrong.

There never was a man like SHANE. There never was a motion picture like SHANE.
One of the greatest westerns - both film and score. The selections are from the 1996 re-recording performed by The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra with Richard Kaufman conducting. Score arranged by Patrick Russ. The selections here are: 1) Prelude 2) The Tree Stump and 3) Cemetery Hill.
Acclaimed director George Stevens' legendary rendition of the quintessential Western myth earned six Academy Award. nominations, and made Shane one of the classics of the American cinema. The story brings Alan Ladd, a drifter and retired gunfighter, to the assistance of a homestead family terrorized by a wealthy cattleman and his hired gun (Jack Palance). In fighting the last decisive battle, Shane sees the end of his own way of life. Mysterious, moody and atmospheric, the film is enhanced by the intense performances of its splendid cast.

決闘シーンからシェーンカムバック!まで
Shane you've gotta lay down your guns
Pick up the pieces and start again
Shane you've gotta bury away the past
Lose the hatchet and try again
Shane you've gotta realise
It's the way of the world that you made
Shane you've got to lay the ghost to rest
Of another time and back to the grave
And Shane the friends we make old
seem somehow to drift away
How can you feel alone with all
the people that you know?
All those friendly faces that
reflect from empty bars
