Held by many to be the pinnacle of the five Westerns they were teamed on, The Man from Laramie marked the final collaboration between director Anthony Mann and star James Stewart. James Stewart stars as a resolute vigilante, obsessed with finding the man responsible for his brother's death. Among the suspects are an arrogant cattle baron (Donald Crisp), his sadistic son (Alex Nicol) and his ranch foreman (Arthur Kennedy). A psychological revenge saga of Shakespearean proportions, and masterfully filmed in Cinemascope and Technicolor, The Man from Laramie is one of the most powerful dramas of the 1950s.

Anthony Mann and James Stewart are a partnership that worked brilliantly and still does today. A great western thriller about how people aren't as they seem, which is nothing new, but in this rendition, it's just done well. Stewart has a great role, but here, other characters are also brilliantly written, and it works well with them.
