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. |

This is a good film with lots of star support (see young Katherine Ross, Robert Conrad, Doug McClure , Glenn Corbett, George Kennedy, Strother Martin etc.) but I do feel that Stewart may have overplayed his hand a shade. One of the great actors and a perfect "everyman" Stewart is a tad overpowered by his role that might have suited a Burl Ives type better.
The un-manipulated
image is very good. Original dark scenes and true colors are all intact.
Progressive, anamorphic, original aspect ratio - original audio and
excellent subtitles. What we are missing are some decent extras. The
original trailer is in rough shape, but overall, for the film itself -
this is a good representation.
