    The Shepherd of the Hills- What a great movie, and I got a shock when I realized it was in color. This was a really nice story with a great unique feeling around it, great cast and a good story, it felt very much like a John Ford movie to me rather than Hathaway though I can't put my finger on exactly why that is. I think Duke's part in this film was rather small for top billing, his character was more important to the plot than the movie if you get my meaning, the real joy in the movie for me was Harry Carey and his interactions with all the supporting characters, i'd never seen him outside of small roles though I knew of Harry Jr. and am not a fan, but was thoroughly impressed with him here. Had the feel of a classic to me though I see some mixed reactions over in the dedicated thread. A different kind of Duke western!
