"25.10. 2023 A cowboy wins a precious rifle in a shooting competition but a scoundrel steals it and the cowboy decides to get the rifle back by any means necessary. "Winchester '73" is an old-fashioned western with some crude stereotypes but the way Mann handles traditional American issues, like obsession with guns, makes it slightly more engaging than average. Masterfully paced action scenes makes me want to forget some awkward scenes like the scene with Rock Hudson playing a Native American ch"

" Notes: To be honest, I’m not usually not a huge fan of such old Westerns but I have to admit that this one was not bad at all. Indeed, I really liked a how they mixed a rather generic vendetta with the odyssey of a precious stolen rifle. Indeed, while James Stewart’s character kept hunting for his nemesis, which was rather generic, it seemed that his stolen rifle was somehow cursed as every new owner managed to keep it only for a short while and most of them violently died in the process.

"“This movie started a whole new trend in Hollywood. It was the first in which an actor was not paid much money upfront but was given a percentage deal, and that’s because Universal couldn’t afford a big star like Jimmy Stewart…. It turned the whole industry around.” -Robert Osborne “The 50s are really the peak of these morally complex westerns…. The heroes are battle-weary, there’s an ambivalence about violence, I think there’s more interest in male-female relationships becau"

"Anthony Mann came to the western in 1950, with no less than three electrifying oaters. The Devil’s Doorway humanizes Robert Taylor’s Native American rebel without condescension or pious speechifying, while The Furies captures the complex, crazy synergy between Barbara Stanwyck’s prairie Electra and Walter Huston’s cattle-ranch patriarch. It was in Winchester ’73, however, that the filmmaker located the ideal actor for his dissections of cowboy heroism. Here, the James Stewart who rides"
