Leave your thoughts about Winchester '73.
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostAtmospheric Western with an unusual look at Dodge City and Wyatt Earp. |
| VarietyVariety StaffStewart brings real flavor and appeal to the role of Lin, in a lean, concentrated portrayal. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Martin ChiltonWinchester '73 changed the way cinema audiences saw the Western, because it featured a more complex idea of the noble hero of the west -- a man plagued by personal problems and violent impulses. |
| Bryant Frazer's Deep FocusBryant FrazerJimmy Stewart's performance is tinged with desperation and dementia -- the work of a great actor discovering a new boldness inside. |
| Radio TimesTony SlomanThis is a fine, mature work: adult, intelligent and moral, creating a laconic new persona for the admirable Stewart. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherA frisky, fast-moving, funny Western in which a rifle is the apple of a cowboy's eye. |
| Film4James JenningsJames Stewart's driven, neurotic portrayal is one of many highlights in this seminal revenge western. |
| User ReviewK DThese guys are supernatural with the rifle. The stunt shooter actually shot through the hole in the coin in real life. |
| User ReviewFrancisco FL'un des films qui esta l'origine de ma vocation. Bilan extremement fin de l'etat du genre au debut des annees 50. Le nouveau heros est un pequin qui admire les legendes de l'Ouest (cf. la rencontre avec Wyatt Earp au debut du film). Autrement dit, le western ne peut plus raconter la legende, mais seulement figurer des personnages qui ont conscience de son existence : c'est la fin de l'innocence, ce que Ford confirmera magistralement, mais douze ans plus tard, dans L'Homme qui tua Liberty Valance. |
| User ReviewSasha NThe best of the Mann/Stewart westerns in my opinion, this is great, great stuff and more original in plot and execution than most other westerns. great performances, excellent pacing, a true classic. |
