The Man From Laramie (1955)

Posted on April 13, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Great Story. Beautifully filmed. I relished in James Stewart’s performance but I must say that Arthur Kennedy took the show. His performance almost out shines Stewart’s. This film isn’t your average Western. It’s more of a mystery or … Continue reading →
