Additional InformationIn the old west, cowboy Lin McAdam (James Stewart) wins a valuable Winchester 1873 repeating rifle in a shooting contest--which his brother(Stephen McNally)instantly steals. This leads to a rousing series of adventures for McAdam, as he attempts to track down the weapon, which passes through the hands of a number of dangerous people. Meanwhile, Lin must also deal with the cold-blooded murder of his father. Seeking vengeance, the cowboy sets out to find the killer. When he does, the two men match skills in a violent, deadly showdown. Anthony Mann's edgy, psychological western features a powerful performance by Jimmy Stewart as a man obsessed.
This is a very good film.Lots of action,and you can engage with the characters.It is about a Winchester rifle["One in a thousand"] won in close competition and then stolen.The story follows the different hands it passes through until it comes full circle.A tale of dogged determination to retrieve what was taken along with the achievement of justice for a past and cowardly murder commited by the thief.James Stewart again delivers another good performance.It is filmed in black and white but loses nothing because of that.I recommend this to any fan of the western genre.
