"4 Stars. Notito be missed." - theiMotion Picture Guide
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). One explosive confrontation, in which Stewart is dragged by a wild horse and shot in the hand at close range, is one of movie history's most memorable sequences. Among the first Western's filmed in CinemaScope, The Man From Laramie uses the wide-screen technology to emphasize the scope and power of this harrowing action-drama, making it a perfect example of the Western as America's epic art form.

Stewart and Mann, perfect together - 3.75 out of 5 (11/16/2002)
I sure was excited when I saw this Anthony Mann/Jimmy Stewart Western was announced for release on DVD back in late 1999, because it was the first of the classic westerns made by Anthony Mann that starred Jimmy Stuart to be released on DVD. Mann and Stewart made 7 films together, five of them westerns (WINCHESTER 73, THE NAKED SPUR, BEND OF THE RIVER, THE FAR COUNTRY and this one), and they were one of the all-time great actor-director teams, of which Stewart also had with Hitchcock and Capra.

Why can't they do this to all the classic westerns! - 4.25 out of 5 (3/18/2002)
Great job of remastering the print. The picture on my 8 year-old Zenith was fantastic. I can hardly wait to get a real 16:9 HDTV. No pops or hiss, the sound and picture was like watching a brand new magnetic print at the theater. Great story and ending. This DVD is a keeper!!!
