Shenandoah (1965)
Country: US
Technical: col 105m
Director: Andrew V. McLaglen
Cast: James Stewart, Doug McClure, Rosemary Forsyth
Synopsis:
When the Civil War comes to his doorstep, a Virginia farmer succeeds in keeping his sons out of the army, but not out of the war.
Review:
Old-fashioned western by 1965 standards, extolling the virtues of the family and, despite Stewart's sportive scepticism, the Church. It veers from sanitisation (the farm seems at first nothing short of a miraculous sanctuary from the dangers of the war) to a grim accumulation of disasters, but has moments of charm typical of this actor and, to a lesser extent, director.
