An intensely satisfying drama of rugged primitive justice THE MAN FROM LARAMIE marked the final and finest collaboration of one of the most important teams in Western films: director Anthony Mann and star Jimmy Stewart. Together this perfectly-matched pair provided audiences with eight classic pictures including Winchester 73 and Stategic Air Command. Under Mann s superb direction Stewart departs from his well-loved ordinary hero role and gives a riveting performance 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 in the best performance of his career).
