Shane(1953)

7.3/10

dir. George Stevens

A-Tier

Kino Lorber's 4K scored a perfect 5.0, which almost never happens. Two commentary tracks and a loaded special features package. Excitement was genuine from western fans who consider this one of the greatest ever made. The transfer should be gorgeous given the Technicolor source material and Stevens' meticulous visual style.
