SHANE
November 17, 2019  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
“Shane! Come back!” And he has. Tonight, in prime time, TCM presents this wonderful 1953 Western, directed by George Stevens with one eye on character and another on mood and action. Alan Ladd is great in the title role – but equally great, playing the roles of leading lady and ruthless villain, are Jean Arthur and Jack Palance. And Brandon De Wilde, as the boy who begs Shane to return, is memorably effective as well.
