Low Down Yankee Liar - Shane (7/8) Movie CLIP (1953) HD

There are two scenes I found most riveting and emotional. However, this line made the movie! "You're a Lowdown Yankee Liar" I had to replay this scene three times! Shane, our hero, with his calm cool disposition manages to blow away the bad guys within seconds. What a climax! All is won until one of the bad guys hiding upstairs tries to sneak in a shot, yet just in the knick of time, the young Joey, yells, "Shane, watch out"! Taking a mere bullet to the shoulder, Shane kills the last surviving bad guy as he plummets to his death from the balcony above.

The little boy, Joey, always in admiration of Shane, shows a child's innocent love for his hero. Shane represents honor. In his travels trying to get away from his old life, this is his first opportunity to try to change and become an honest man. However, in standing for honor, he finds it necessary to take this battle in his own hands to stand up for what is right, and in doing so, he must revert back to a lifestyle that he tried to leave behind. Shane acknowledges in the next scene that no one can change their badge no matter how bad they want to, giving an encouraging speech to the young Joey just before he rides off into the mountains. With little Joey calling for his hero Shane to come back. What a fantastic emotional ending to a classic Western film!
