Movie Haiku:Classic Western depicting the battle for control between farmers & ranchers. Shane (Ladd) is the aging gunfighter in the middle. Most scenes are shot from the perspective of a young boy (De Wilde) -- leaving us, the adult viewers, to draw our own conclusions about the motives of the principal players.
