    **_Mid-50's Anthony Mann Western with Jimmy Stewart and Arthur Kennedy_** Jimmy Stewart stars as the titular man who meets a storekeeper (Cathy O'Donnell) while delivering supplies to a Southwestern town in Apache territory. It doesn't take long for him to clash with the rash son of domineering rancher (Alex Nicol and Donald Crisp). Despite the mounting tensions, he stays in town perhaps because he's sweet on the woman, but so is the rancher's formidable foreman (Arthur Kennedy). More importantly, he's searching for the mystery man who's been selling rifles to the Apaches. Disregarding the hopelessly hokey title song during the opening & ending credits, Anthony Mann's "The Man from Laramie" (1955) is a winning mid-50's Western, the last of five Westerns Mann did with Stewart and easily the best of the latter four. The vast New Mexican landscapes in gorgeous color are magnificent. The compelling story is a little complicated, but not overly so. O'Donnell is winsome as the proverbial girl-next-door. It runs 1 hour, 43 minutes, and was shot in Taos & Santa Fe, New Mexico. GRADE: B+
