Memorable film scenes.

Yesterday, Prudie and I were talking about the station staircase scene in 'The Untouchables'
It's a scene that has stayed in my mind's eye since I watched the film. Mainly because I loved Kevin Costner in that role.
Which film scenes have stayed with you and why?

[emmie]

the scene in An Affair to Remember when Cary Grant suddenly realises that Deborah Kerr who is lying on the sofa, is paralysed, and why she didn't turn up on their agreed meeting, tissues out for that one.

Didn't that little plump boy in 'Shane' call out 'I love you Shane'? I remember cringing with embarrassment.

[Tilly2]

Is that why you call yourself headwreck?

[sir.prize]

stabuckone - here is Shane.

And notice at 0.39 seconds the Greyhound bus travelling from left to right in the background behind Alan Ladd as he rides towards the camera.

Starbuckone
I was only six or seven when I first saw Shane.
I'll check my copy when I get home, i was sure it was just the name he called out, even after several viewings over the years.

Well spotted sir.prize! I see the female actress was also dressed in authentic victorian clothes!
I can't believe I watched that film in my teens............and enjoyed it.

Em, that was when he saw his painting in her bedroom - box of tissues needed just for the look of realisation on his face

[murraymints]

toms secret garden..when the old lady upstairs turns out to be his girl in the garden..and him finding the skates in the wardrobe !

[emmie]

Brenden, i know, it's a very emotional moment.

as to Shane, i believe he says, I love Shane, so presumably to his mother..
it has been a while since i saw this film, but loved Alan Ladd and Brandon de Wilde.

Although several other movies were filmed in Jackson Hole Wyoming[i prior to the 1953 filming of [i]Shane] it was one of the most popular. It was ranked #3 on the American Film Institute's list of the 10 greatest films in the genre "Western" in June 2008.

Wyoming is my home State, and if one knows where to look, remnants of the cabin used by the homesteader family of the child actor Brandon de Wilde can still be seen.

The background mountains are, of course, Le Trois Grande Teton[i .. the early French-Canadian fur trappers had vivid imaginations!

As an aside, Clint Eastwoods famous fight scene in the 1980 [i]Any Which Way You Can] was filmed in the town square of Jackson Hole as well...
