Product Description
Product Description
With the integrity and depth of an epic, Shenandoah tells the dramatic story of a man caught in a dilemma. James Stewart stars as a Virginia farmer during the Civil War. He refuses to support the Confederacy because he is opposed to slavery, yet he will not support the Union because he is deeply opposed to war. When his son is taken prisoner, Stewart goes to search for the boy. Seeing first-hand the horrors of war, he is at last forced to take his stand.

Shenandoah, a film well-liked in its day, recalls Friendly Persuasion and foreshadows The Patriot as it tells of an American clan traumatized by war on native soil. Virginia farmer James Stewart has never owned slaves, owes allegiance to no one beyond his own kin, and adamantly disregards the North-South strife rumbling just over the hill: "This war is not mine and I take no note of it." That changes when youngest son Philip Alford (To Kill a Mockingbird's Jem) is carried off by Yankees, and the family must ride out to reclaim him. Shenandoah has several affecting moments--notably a homefront atrocity--but much of it is lit and played like a television show. Script and direction are formulaic, Stewart falls back on cozy shtick, and the supporting cast is a collection of bland studio contract players. As the closing credit says: "filmed entirely at Universal City." --Richard T. Jameson

Summary: Set in the state of Virginia during the American Civil War, James Stewart plays the role of family patriarch, Charlie Anderson. He and his six sons run the family farm, while his daughter, Jenny (Rosemary Forsyth), and daughter-in-law, Ann (Katherine Ross) take care of the housework. Charlie's oldest son, Jacob (Glenn Corbett) wants to join the war, but Charlie repeatedly tells his family that they won't join the war until it concerns them. Although a few of the boys want to join, they respect their father's wishes, and remain on the farm. Charlie's daughter, Jenny, is courting a young soldier, Sam (Doug McClure). He wants to marry Jenny, and when Charlie gives his permission, the wedding occurs a few days later. As soon as the vows are said, a young lieutenant rides up and announces that Sam is wanted beck immediately. Sam leaves, much to the sorrow of his new bride. While out hunting raccoon, Charlie's youngest son and his friend stumble onto a confederate ambush. They run away, and stop for a drink at a pond. The boy is wearing an old rebel soldier cap that he found at the river. When a union patrol comes on them, the boy is takes as a prisoner of war. His young friend, Gabriel (Eugene Jackson), runs to tell the Andersons what happened. When Charlie hears the news, he and his sons, and his daughter Jenny leave to look for the boy, leaving James (Patrick Wayne) and his wife, Ann at the farm with their young baby. Meanwhile, the boy is taken to a prisoner of war camp. He finds a man (James Best) who is going to escape, and decides to let the boy come along. They and a few other men successfully make it out of the camp, and start heading south. Not long after, they come onto a confederate camp, and are soon involved in a skirmish. The boy's friend is killed, and the boy himself is shot in the leg. When a union soldier comes along about to kill him, the boy looks up into the face of his friend, Gabriel. Gabriel helps him off into a bush to hide until after the battle.
Questions: Who is looking for a boy? Who is this boy? Why did the boy leave on his horse? Who overjoyed when she sees what? Whom does Sam leave with? What does Sam tell the boys to do? What happens on the farm? Who takes shots at Jacob? What happen to James and Ann? Who starts there day with a prayer? Who hears church bells ringing in the distance? Who is the Pastor?
My Thoughts: I don't like war pictures but this one was different. Usually in war pictures, the audience goes to war right from the beginning. However, in this picture the war comes to the Andersons. The Andersons did everything to stay away from the war but the war came to them. I thought Jimmy Stewart was excellent in his role as Mr. Anderson. I love the filming of the farm and how the Andersons work the farm. I thought Rosemary Forsyth was also excellent in her role as Jennie Mr. Anderson daughter. I also thought that Katherine Ross was great playing the role of Mr. Anderson daughter in law. I usually don't like war pictures but I make an exception in this case. Because of the great acting and the beautiful scenery of the Anderson farm, I give this movie 8 weasel stars. You can also get this movie at Amazon.com
It is excellent in every way. Jimmy Stewart stars ... one of the best actors ever. Doug McClure was his handsome, young self. The story line, the costumes, and all the actors were just wonderful. No spoilers, but don't watch it without a few tissues near by.

Beaucoup aimé ce western que je ne connaissais pas ; j'apprécie particulièrement la Vo sous-titrée en Français car les doublages des voix de ces acteurs archi connus sont tous excécrables.
