Winchester '73

"Perhaps the pinnacle in the series of Anthony Mann/Jimmy Stewart Westerns, Winchester '73 stars Stewart as obsessed cowhand Lin McAdam. The trouble starts when McAdam wins a valuable Winchester 1873 repeating rifle in a shooting contest -- which his brother instantly steals. This leads to a picaresque series of adventures as McAdam journeys far and wide to track down the weapon. Shelley Winters, Tony Curtis and Rock Hudson co-star."

I'm not a big fan of cowboy movies, but this movie is excellent. There's even Henry's in it. It's the only cowboy I've ever seen where the star is a rifle, and Jimmy Stewart is better than ever. You can stream it on NetFlix. ~Bob
