The Shepherd of the Hills (1941) John Wayne

Hämärtää vuorten takana (The Shepherd of the Hills, 1941) Limited Edition

Technicolor-loistoa Ozarkien vuoristossa. Näyttelijälegenda Harry Carey on syrjäiseen yhteisöön saapuva muukalainen, John Wayne on viinanpolttaja, jota piinaa kostonhimo.

Harry Carey oli westernleffojen ikoni, jota nuorempi, vasta uraansa rakentava näyttelijä palvoi, kuten Wayne itse kertoi muistelmissaan. Mukana käännettävä kansilehti, 40-sivuinen kuvitettu tekstivihko ja mukavasti extraa.

Brittijulkaisu, katsottavissa kaikilla Suomessa myydyillä Blu-ray laitteilla:

Henry Hathaway (Go West Young Man) directs John Wayne (Jet Pilot), Betty Field (7 Women), Harry Carey (You and Me), and Beulah Bondi (Remember the Night) in the classic 1941 melodrama The Shepherd of the Hills.

When Daniel Howitt (Carey), a kindly stranger, arrives in a remote Ozark community riven by hatred, he befriends young Sammy (Field) and raises the ire of her fiancé, Matt (Wayne), a bitter moonshiner who has sworn to kill his own father.

Based on the best-selling novel by Harold Bell Wright, and boasting ravishing cinematography by Charles Lang (The Long Gray Line) and W Howard Greene (The Magnificent Seven), Hathaway’s version of The Shepherd of the Hills was the third of no fewer than four big-screen adaptations, and was Wayne’s first film in Technicolor.
