The Man From Laramie

1955, NR, 104 min. Directed by Anthony Mann. Starring George Kennedy, James Stewart, Donald Crisp.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Mon., July 8, 2002

Anthony Mann's Westerns contain many a warped cowboy hero, and it's great fun here to see kindly Jimmy Stewart playing a revenge-laden man searching almost pathologically for the gang who killed his brother.
