Description

James Stewart, Rock Hudson and Shelley Winters light up the screen in this timeless portrayal of the Wild West and the heroes who tamed it. Stewart plays Lin McAdam, a frontiersman who wins a Winchester rifle in a marksmanship contest. When the prize is stolen, he doggedly pursues it as it passes among a motley group of characters—including a crazed highwayman, a corrupt gunrunner, a savage young Indian chief and even his own dangerous brother—until the final, rousing shoot-out. Also featuring Tony Curtis in one of his first screen performances, Winchester ’73 remains one of the western genre’s most enduring classics.

    Anthony Mann cooks up a great western with all the right ingredients, especially Jimmy Stewart. The supporting cast is excellent. Interesting to see Rock Hudson cast in an early role as an Indian chief as well as Tony Curtis as a young cavalryman. Plenty of action throughout the film. This is a keeper. 👍
  • Great movie - but don't waste your $ on HD.

    This is a terrific old-school black & white western film. It's especially fun to watch Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis appearing as young actors in "paying-their-dues" minor roles. All performances are strong and the engaging plot moves briskly. This film belongs on any list of Hollywood's "great" western movies. Because it is an old b&w film, there is absolutely no benefit to the forced-gain of the high-def version. Standard definition is actually more watchable.
  • A classic western
