What The Man from Laramie Is About

A man searching for whoever sold rifles to his brother arrives in a small town and walks into the rot between a father and two sons. Anthony Mann tells his western through a closed family reckoning rather than open landscape. James Stewart is not the reliable decent man here but angry, stubborn and at moments frightening. The dragging sequence early on is one of the harshest things in the genre. The scenery is beautiful and offers no consolation, with the camera keeping the mountains permanently at a distance.
