Quotes from
Shane:
[to Joey] You go home to your mother and your father and grow up to be strong and straight.
Shane: 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.
Shane: I've heard about you.
Jack Wilson: What have you heard, Shane?
Shane: I've heard that you're a low-down Yankee liar.
Jack Wilson: Prove it.

Facts about
The music cues for the climactic ride that Shane takes to the showdown are from an earlier Paramount film, Rope of Sand.
Meticulous care was taken at all levels of production. All the physical props were true to the period, the buildings were built to the specifications of the time and the clothing was completely authentic. Director George Stevenseven had somewhat scrawny-looking cattle imported from other areas, as the local herds looked too well-fed and healthy.
In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked this as the #45 Greatest Movie of All Time.
