My 92 year old father in law passed away three days ago. This was his favourite movie of all times. I am listening to this while putting together a slide show of his life. Such a great tree has fallen in our lives😢Miss you, Pa
An enjoyable listen. I like to sit back and rest my nerves listening to these older film scores. Anyone who likes this would probably also like Red River.
The last scene of the movie - with this beautiful music soaring and Shane riding away, and the little Joey calling after him - always tears me up 💜💚💜💚💜
AS kid in 1953 I was crazy about this movie and Victor Young's score. Seen it a few times more later in life. When I visited Wyoming and the Grand Tetons it came back to me
Was just chatting to my Dad about Shane and the Grand Tetons last night. We'll never get to see them in real life, (Ireland), so George Stevens shows us instead. They must be magnificent.
It was the first western movie I saw when we returned to France. I was 9 years old and this wonderful film marked me forever. Sublime music and fabulous actors;
I was 11 when it came out. It was the first film that moved me to tears at the end, and now at 79, it is still my favorite film and score of all time, and I have seen at least 1500 movies. It was the first film that showed me what a film can do in its totality.
heard this soundtrack last year and was moved to tears by the music alone. Then watched Logan last night. Hoping to see Shane as soon as I can find it. As a high schooler there is something about old movies, especially Westerns, that really touches my heart like few modern movies can. Movies like Shane are why I want to make films
@Pracylop Gonzer yes it's a very beautiful film. It doesn't glamorous the surroundings, there's no stagecoaches thundering through taking excited settlers off to a new life, it's a hard life for the settlers in their isolated community but the backdrop is stunning and Shane is just the kind of old fashioned hero we love, even though it's 1889 and the gunslinger cowboy doesn't have much of a place in that new environment as the frontier is about to close.
A little fun fact: Steiner and Young were playing cards together once a week (including Dimitri Tiomkin and others). After Young died, Steiner didn't continue this fun, because nobody was ever a challenge to him as Young was.
A very nice soundtrack for a great film. One of my favorite westerns of all times: classic, simple in its approach and very, very beautiful. The final scene, when Shane (Alan Ladd) moves away alone riding up to the mountains, while you hear the echo of his name in the distance, is particularly emotive.
Truly a master of effortless melody; delicate orchestrations of surprising complexity and an unerring sense of how to capture the emotional center of any scene with an economy of means. Sadly - criminally - underappreciated today.
Victor Young wrote some fine scores. I especially like his music for "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Check out the rerecording of it on the old WB LP. And Young wrote some absolutely beautiful songs like "Stella by Starlight". Songs aren't easy to write.
Wow. Immediately as I hear this I know what it is- though from just looking at the title I had no idea. This was one of my grandfather's favourite films, and he would watch it over and over again with me playing in the background, I can remember the music like it was yesterday! (And it was 30 years ago....)
A big time classic film from the early 1950's. Alan Ladd vs. "the bad guys" - especially cool-collected Jack Palance. a young Brandon de Wilde and Jean Arthur. Neat realistic scenes...especially the town. Now, the music: Ohh, it's a great score by a composer who had several credits to his Hollywood scoring. The feel of each scene...especially at the climax of the film, makes that old classic "Western cowboy film feel" come around. I like it! So..."Come back, Shane!"
One of the great Western film themes - by a master of his craft with an amazing "track" record in great melodic invention that crossed over and also became commercially popular song hits.
Great soundtrack of this great composer of forties n fifties.One of the finest western movie directed by George Stevens(most probably)with high class performance of legendary Alan Ladd,Van Heflin n impeccable Jack Palance.All time favourite western movie followed by Highnoon,The Searchers n Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.👍👌
As I wrote into the description of last weeks video, this week we will take the time to remember the great Victor Young, who died 60 years ago and left the world with 56 years of age, way too soon. Shane is one of the most memorable movies of the classical western era, a fantastic work of director George Stevens, also one of the composer's most memorable film scores, likewise his posthumously Academy Award winning "Around The World In 80 Days". Enjoy!
Great heart touching soundtrack of ace composer Victor Young, greater performances of Alan Ladd,Can Heflin n Jack Palance n greatest film ever made by George Stevens.The real stuff that dreams are made of.
The mysterious high plains drifter, and the lethal expert gunman for hire donning black clothes and a menacing jawline. Shane set the standard for the Westerns you see after
Stunning work, Fred! I knew that the tree stump scene had beautiful music, but I hadn't recalled what a wonderful score Young had composed, and none of the excerpts previously posted here did justice to him. Thanks so much.
Thank you very much, for the lovely comment, Nicholas! Every comment here under a homage of a composer of the golden era is a pure joy to read. Glad to see that Victor Young and the others are far from being "dead"! Fred
A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.
In an era when the Second Constitutional Amendment is under attack, it's important to be reminded why the preservation of the right of law abiding U. S. citizens to bear arms is so vital.
Well said, this quote is even more important in modern times. Don't let the politicians (you all know which side) infringed our Second Constitutional Amendment rights.
It wasn't until late in his career that he got commissioned to do the big pictures that were expected to be nominated for all the Oscars. I'm only familiar with those scores--The Quiet Man, Shane, and his last, Around the World in 80 Days. But early in his career, he would be nominated four times a year (twice in a row!) for pictures I'd never heard of. That's how respected his work was, from the get-go. So, why didn't he get the big pictures earlier? 'Tis a puzzlement. Somebody must have been ahead of him.
To me he is well known and loved, since more than 35 years, when I was 15 :-) His music is sheer beauty and emotion. Truly one of the greatest old Hollywood composers, in one line with Rozsa, Herrmann, Friedhofer, Holländer, Korngold, Steiner, Waxman, Tiomkin, Newman and Kaper and Stothart -- the last two unfortunately also often overlooked or forgotten. Then there is H.J. Salter (also German, like many others) ... have I forgotten anyone else? A divine power was inherent in all of them and they gave expression to it.
@@cvb6957 I like your list but would add to it David Raksin whose scores for "Laura", "Forever Amber", "The Bad and The Beautiful" and a dozen others are among Hollywood's finest compositions.
I'll bet any amount of money Hans Zimmer wish he could wrote music like this. I doubt he could do one in a thousand years. This is truly a great underrated score and one of my favorites. Thanks Fred. Out..
A lot of people call things "underrated" that earned universal praise in their time, but this isn't one of those times. This masterpiece of a Victor Young score wasn't even nominated, let alone awarded an Oscar. Young and Stevens took an otherwise pretty good scene (the tree stump), and made it as epic as anything every captured on celluloid. Young gave Shane a heroic theme, Marion one of beautiful wistfulness, and shrouded everything related to Wilson and the Rykers in darkness, just like the lighting at Grafton's. No one, not even Tiomkin or Steiner, could have done better. Young's music is a big reason why I consider Shane the greatest Western of them all.

MAN HE DID A JOB ON ****THE LORD OF THE RINGS**** and THE HOBBIT. ....there were others though....
O garoto o Brandon de Wilde morre aos 30 anos de acidente de carro. No filme vemos Van Hefli, Alan Ladd, Jack Palance, Elisha Cook Jr. Filmaço imperdivel.
Can anyone confirm whether this youtube upload sounds sonically the same as the CD edition pictured? Is the CD OST edition mono/very narrow stereo like this?
Hello there, the original CD indeed sounds practically as here. It presents the surviving cues from the 35mm monaural magnetic film found in the Paramount vaults, supplemented by a few choice cues from the film’s music and effects track. Best!

Best Western and best movie soundtrack all rolled into one. What joy!

A perfect movie. Everything great- script, casting, acting, music, editing and cinematography!
One of the very best and most beloved!!!!
One of the best westerns of all time which I barely understand as a kid but I truly admire as an adult. What a beautiful score. Thanks Fred!
Beautiful!!!

I feel the exact same way...
Shane is a beautiful movie. It’s so simple & noble . The musical score shades it perfectly.
I've watched "Shane" every now and then since it first came out, sorta like it.
@Pracylop Gonzer yes it's a very beautiful film.

One of my favourite western and non western movies ever
Beautiful music and a fantastic western! ❤
One of the great films of ANY genre.
Can't remember how meany times I have seen this movie. But still rate it in the top ten westerns of all time.
I've watched this at least a couple of hundred times - and still put it on whenever it comes on
This guy and Max Steiner made the best stuff... this is the music that doesn't need words to sing
A little fun fact: Steiner and Young were playing cards together once a week (including Dimitri Tiomkin and others). After Young died, Steiner didn't continue this fun, because nobody was ever a challenge to him as Young was.
what about Dimitry Tiomkin?
I think Victor Young heard this song from heaven and composed it. Thank you Victor for adding beauty to this world through music.
A very nice soundtrack for a great film. One of my favorite westerns of all times: classic, simple in its approach and very, very beautiful. The final scene, when Shane (Alan Ladd) moves away alone riding up to the mountains, while you hear the echo of his name in the distance, is particularly emotive.
I believe he dies when he dips over the hill. Watch closely.
@@drtq9 It is debated.

Why didn't this movie and the soundtrack receive oscars? An Aussie.
The music played while Shane rides to the final gun battle is exhilarating.

The Greatest Western movie. even before the Searchers
What a wonderful score for a wonderful movie... Anyone who doesn't get choked up at the end of this movie should have his or her pulse checked...
Łsome
Great heart touching soundtrack of ace composer Victor Young, greater performances of Alan Ladd,Can Heflin n Jack Palance n greatest film ever made by George Stevens.The real stuff that dreams are made of.
I named my son Shane after the character in this movie. I listen to parts of the soundtrack every night as I get ready for bed.
the tree stump is simply the best music ever.
The mysterious high plains drifter, and the lethal expert gunman for hire donning black clothes and a menacing jawline. Shane set the standard for the Westerns you see after
This music has haunted me since I went to see ate age 13. My favorite western ever.
Great Music ! Great Movie ! 👍

Una de las mejores bandas sonoras de todos los tiempos , increíble cómo capta en todo instante el relato de la película, una genialidad
Victor Young is underrated. Many people don't know him by name. A favorite of mine is Scaramouche, which I got this year.
It wasn't until late in his career that he got commissioned to do the big pictures that were expected to be nominated for all the Oscars. I'm only familiar with those scores--The Quiet Man, Shane, and his last, Around the World in 80 Days. But early in his career, he would be nominated four times a year (twice in a row!) for pictures I'd never heard of. That's how respected his work was, from the get-go.

@@nstix2009xitsn Paramount the studio did not have good vision till Hal Wallis came in to help
Also George Steven's here for Shane
Une très belle musique signée Victor Young. Cette version en 'Suite symphonique' est fort bien réussie.
Un CLÁSICO del cine , excelente filme, la he visto tres veces y me apresto a verla una CUARTA
Victor's best OST
Weird how I can't find the awesome music that plays during the final night scene when Shane is heading for Town and Joey is chasing him.
VY one if the great Hollywood composers. Died way too young (no pun intended)
Wonderful.
I'll bet any amount of money Hans Zimmer wish he could wrote music like this. I doubt he could do one in a thousand years. This is truly a great underrated score and one of my favorites. Thanks Fred. Out..

There were four western films of
the 1950'S with the GREATEST

GREAT VICTOR YOUNG, the FOURTH by the LEGENDARY
****MAX STEINER**** no western's ever made could ever
surpass those FOUR....1. 1953'
SHANE**** 2. 1954'S JOHNNY
GUITAR**** 3. THE TALL MEN
4. THE SEACHERS, the latter by
MAX STEINER. I am the MOVIE
MAN OF THE 1930' 40'S 50'S 60'S
70'S and 80'S....my last great
SOUNDTRACK came from HOWARD SHORE, that was my
last hurrah. MAN HE DID A JOB
ON ****THE LORD OF THE RINGS**** and THE HOBBIT.
....there were others though....
How about The Big Counntry
Shane, come back!
Uma das mais lindas trilhas sonoras que existem!!! CLÁSSICA COMO O FILM.
Com certeza, o filme é magnífico, uma obra de arte
"Shane! Shane! Come back!"
Thanks again. Good stuff.
Excelente banda sonora. Gracias por subirla.
ME and my grandfather would sit in the chair and watch this movie for hours at a time there was even one time when he pretended to be Joey
Thank you for sharing
I would pay good money for an edit of Logan with the Shane soundtrack, I love both of the movies so much
such music
Cuál es mi iluminación escuchar esta preciosa melodía del Oeste " El llanto de la Pradera" ,
The wood cutting song is the best of the lot
Dan Zan Yeah. Very stirring. Sounds quite baroque.
❤❤SHANE..HE,IS..AFEW.GOOD.MEN..IN..WILD..COUNTRY..

El más bonito y mejor Western de siempre.
O filme esta no NETFLIX nome Os brutos também amam. Sensacional. Ja assisti muitas vezes desde criança!
Another request here. Not sure if you've seen the movie, Jesus of Nazareth. Great movie and has a great music score.

"Why didn't he come back", I asked my mom as we left the picture house.
BMW (BEAUTIFUL, MARVELLOUS, WONDERFUL)!
