Shane filming locations in Grand Tetons, Wyoming! History Hunters #33

[@roybodden9243]

I’m writing once again about the film “Shane”. Even today, at the age of 86, the closing scene of the movie still brings tears to my eyes! I guess I am a sentimental at heart!

[@Swimmer47]

So many of us are when watching this great western. It accentuates and perhaps symbolizes our beautiful country. I’ve been all over the world but the American west is the most beautiful of them all.

[@sergeantyork1485]

Not on ur own

[@tooter1able]

Always thought this was the best Western of all time-memorable, moral, momentous, with great magnanimity . Alan Ladd's portrayal of Shane is the benchmark for all Western heroes.

[@grahamdenman3023]

I'm 77 now and this remains my favourite film.Just perfect.

[@bobpeterson1906]

I am nly 73 but Shans and Lonesome Dove are my favorites, BOB.

[@stevebowness9435]

Perfect indeed…Magnificent.

[@nolanbowen8800]

This is the greatest western and one of the greatest movies of all time. We had moved from the Teton Valley Idaho in 1951 so when Shane came out it took us back home. I later became a wrangler at JLL not far from where to movie was filmed. My uncle had worked with the buckskin Palance rode and I guess he was kind of a bronc. Palance did well as did all the actors.

[@wallaceviviansadventures2095]

thanks Jeff for taking us along. Shane was my favorite western when i was a young fellow. i read the book in school watched the movie 50 + times for sure, i even called my boy Shane. take care

[@jbenziggy]

Thanks for watching our channel and commenting! Shane is a great movie. I have found memories of the first time I watched it when my stepdad was alive and part of the family. He is gone so I think of him when I watch it again! I appreciate your comments!

[@ericbleasel5907]

Sitting in that theatre so many years ago with my Mum and Dad brings a tear to my eye,i’m seventy one now.I’ve watched Shane a hundred times and to me personally it was and still is the greatest western ever made.Alan Ladd i know you were just a small guy like me,but you were unequalled as an actor,your early passing was never explained because who knew how you felt at the time,small in stature Alan you were but a giant in your craft,RIP my friend.

[@evoljdem]

I was 10 years old when I saw the film Shane in the company of my parents and I will never forget it. It is perhaps the best film about the old west.

[@billybabu]

My favourite western of all time. When I watch the final scene; the music, boy running shouting "Shane" and Alan Walbridge Ladd riding off into the mountains! It still gives me goosebumps! Love and blessing from Wolverhampton England to you all.

Shane is one of my all time favorite motion pictures...I was 10 years of age...my parents, especially mom just loved the scenery, as well as Brendon...as he closely resembled her 10 year old! As an old guy, I really love the location and the fine music track! Jack Palance was cast perfectly for that "scumbag" Wilson!

@@chuylopez8793 another good one is "where the red fern grows"! It was filmed i think where old yeller was,east of tulsa ok by the Arkansas state line. Anyway where red fern grows was filmed there at dripping springs,beautiful natural springs,falls! And rocks & hollers,caves! From outside siloam springs ark down to talequah ok & an old country store in between. There was an old house at springdale ark east of a q chicken house restaurant(one of President Clinton fav,& ate there while i lived right behind,then had to follow his entourage to tulsa doing about 30mph)was a big house with hitching post still out front! Guess it was post office,store,& way station plus boarding houseyears ago. Then gravel road goes straight south from it to hospital,& past cemetery,& at night especially with full moon it is spooky,or foggy or snowing! Reminds me of story is it ichabod crane & headless horseman?

I saw the movie in the 70s as well, but then read the book in high school in the early 80s. In the book it's heavily suggested Shane's wounds are mortal.

its a darn shame the old cabin hasnt been saved. with that view, i can imagine alot of people would love the opportunity to stay somewhere like that on holiday

[@pip393]

Wonderful carefully crafted presentation Jeff and Sarah with so much Hollywood movie significance, since Shane is considered to be the greatest pre-eminent western movie ever made surpassing all others. I was always captivated by the beauty of the opening scene, depicting Shanes descent into the valley and his unsuspecting crossing of the Joe Starrett homestead leading to his magical encounter with little Joey. Who could have possibly guessed that this was shot on the Teton Pass Highway, at the Rest Stop to the left of the Howdy Stranger/Jackson Hole sign? A wonderful presentation as usual filled with such historical information on the making of Shane that's largely unavailable to us. In spite of it's occasional overlooked editing eccentricities such as the spotting of a distant car or truck, or Shane entering the Saloon by both the left and right swing door in the final scene, I think both the video and musical content of this magnificant Movie to be unsurpassed. Thank you so much for bringing us so much joy.

[@t4texastom587]

I'm a country-boy and a big western movie buff. I own MANY western movies and TV westerns. I definitely have my favorite character actors, main stars, and favorite movies and shows. I have to say, that SHANE is my all-time favorite western movie. Obviously many great character actors in it, absolutely THE best "bad man" of all-time in Jack Palance, and of course Alan Ladd playing Shane in what I consider the opitomy of what a good guy with a gun should be. Even the dog deserved an Academy Award for his acting in the saloon scene near the end of the movie when Shane enters through those swinging doors. lol. R.I.P. All of those great actors in that picture. I enjoyed your video very much. What beautiful country.🇺🇲

Hello Jeff Allen here again I lived in Jackson Hole in 1975 and 1976 I visited many of those cabins that you are showing us today enjoy the great shots you have taken today it brings back many memories a cowboy for the Jackson Hole cattle Association back in the Grove on basin is still amazing you bring history to where I had been and you have followed there is a place north of Jackson Hole where all of those cabins have been taken I wrote their many times and wished I had been in that movie call Shane I know many of the original settlers of Jackson Hole there is a squirrel type animal that lives there is actually called the chiseler when I was there in 1975 and 1976 most of those cabins are pretty well wasted away but they still bring back the history of the movie of Shane I used to ride in the Saturday Sunday and Monday Rodeo there in Jackson Hole add many great experiences in the Cowboy bar of people buying me drinks

[@jbenziggy]

I love Jackson Hole!

[@andyhawkins642]

That was great, Shane is a magical film and the use of the mountains as a backdrop makes it special. It really does seem to epitomize the 'Wild West'. How nice that you went to such trouble to find the locations, makes me want to visit. The ending of the film gets me every time, a nice element of mystery around Shane's character. Westerns were very big here in England and they don't get any better than this one. Thanks Jeff, Andy.

Sarah, after watching Shane again, last night and this morning, I came here specifically to ask you to give it a view. The animals and children in the movie are precious, Brandon deWilde's character is just adorable! You'll love it! It's Hollywood gold for sure.

[@decab8292]

An excellent movie that will never in my personal opinion be forgotten. After the years of watching this movie I could believe that Shane was Joey’s farther and Marian was the girl who Shane left to pursue his place in the civil war. Upon his return he found she had made a life with a good man and he didn’t belong any longer. The tension between both Shane and Marion shows in the movie even big Joe knows the truth deep down. Maybe just my over thinking brain but I believe it only adds to the magic of the story. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and showing us the beautiful scenery.

[@georget.cochran1461]

George Cochran: I accidentally came across this piece by Jeff and thoroughly enjoyed it. "Shane" is certainly one of the finest westerns and most beautifully filmed I have seen until "One-Eyed Jacks" was released. You interest in putting yourself and your partner through some physical effort to revisit this incredible location and share it with us certainly is appreciated. Be blessed!

[@joeygar1]

I never get tired of watching "Shane", a great movie. Great video of you going to the location of the movie. I live in Bakersfield, Ca. and Jack Palance, lived in Tehachapi Ca., a few miles East of Bakersfield. I met Jack through a mutual friend of ours and I am honor to say that we became friends. I would often take my wife and kids to visit Jack at his ranch whenever he was not filming. You, could not tell by looking at him that he was a very nice man. My kids loved him, couldn't wait to go visit him at his ranch and get to ride one or two of his ponies. Through Jack I got to meet Ben Johnson, who also happen to be a very nice man. Again, Jeff and Sarah too thank you for your video.

[@jbenziggy]

Thank you my friend! We also live in the Central Valley. Of course you saw I met Ben Johnson, who was a nice man. Few stars actually wind up in this part of California but I recently lived Elisha Cook lived in Bishop! Go figure! Jack Palance, I heard, was a private man so you are fortunate for having met him!

[@joeygar1]

Thank you, for your respond to my comment. Yes, Jack was a very private man, why he took a liking to me I do not know. But, I am still honor to call him a friend. I also met character actor Charles Napier, after he moved to Bakersfield from Tehachapi Ca., We used to get together and have coffee in the morning when he was not filming. As an Actor myself I can say proudly that I have met many famous Actors, Sam Elliot, Henry Darrow ( Monolito on High Chaparral, Santa Barbara NBC Soap, and many other films.) All of the big named stars and not so big named stars I have met all been very nice with the fans and just plain folks. To this day I do not know why I was so blessed to have either worked or met them and they took a liking to me. Some of the scenes for Thelma and Louis was filmed her in Bakersfield, Ca. My daughter wanted to meet Brad Pitt so I got her 2 days work as an extra and she got to meet Brad and he invited her to have lunch with him on location. Man, what a guy he was. I am so happy he finally won an Academy Award.

[@DuboisWyomingAirportConstructi]

Best movie ever! I watch it several times a year. So being you’re from CA, I’m impressed you got off the pavement and went out on antelope flats on foot without bear spray, a 44 magnum and a pickup truck full of cowboys with carbines as guides. That herd you saw watching you ‘at attention’ was most likely antelope if they were very light colored, or cattle if dark colored. Moose don’t herd up that time of year, Bison don’t watch people like that and elk and deer usually aren’t out in that sort of habitat that time of year. There is an occasional grizzly around out there periodically. You didn’t find the hole of Torreys grave, but it is there, so are some ruins of the townsite including a slight road through the townsite. That wire you found is at the site of the homesite. A number of scenes were shot from the sides of hills that are known as the Blacktail Hills between Mormon row and the Tetons.

[@anitawaters2890]

So very interesting as Shane has always been one of my favorite movies. I first saw it when I was 8 years old. My grandparents were homesteaders in Montana near Big Sandy. I loved the music from the film as well. Victor Young was the composer.😅

[@vincebaseley13]

Great reporting jeff. You've got a natural flair and empathy for the subject ( in this case Shane). It was the very first movie I ever saw in a fleapit cinema in Dunstable England in 1953. I was 5 years old. My elder brother took me. My family lived in a caravan ( trailer for Americans). I've seen a few reruns of Shane over many years but that first time always stays vivid in my mind. Shane got the bad guys and must surely be every little boys hero. He was my hero then and still is now even though I'm now a 74 year old little boy. Well done Jeff.

[@johnc1975]

This is deja-vu for me because I worked for the Park Service in Grand Teton on the trail crew in the 70s, although not in the part of the park where Shane was filmed. Interesting tidbits of information from the IMDB site. Jack Palance had little, if any, experience riding horses before filming. In the scene where they bury Stonewall, the dog's owner is in the grave below the coffin calling the dog, which is why the dog is looking so intently in the grave. They shot some of the scenes with strong telephoto lenses, which made the mountains look closer to the buildings than they really are. Alan Ladd at 5'5" was much shorter than Van Heflin who was about 6' tall. Anyway thanks for the interesting video! Grand Teton Park will always have a special meaning for me due to my time on the Death Valley trail crew there. BTW those squirrels your wife mentioned are Uinta Ground Squirrels, they are all over the valley part of the park.

As far as the Starrett homestead, there is a flood gate on that canal, perhaps you didn't go far enough, and then the homestead site was about 500 feet further down the canal. 20 years ago there were still some boards out in the area but they are pretty much gone now.

Jeff & Sarah, great video! Shane is my favorite western and that of my late father and my siblings. The Western Writers Association also consider it the best western film ever made. One note: The production dates were from late-July to mid-October 1951. The New York opening was not until 23 April 1953, and the Los Angeles opening was 4 June 1953. The producer-director George Stevens took a long time editing the film, plus Paramount decided to blow up the negative to fit the new Cinemascope widescreen aspect ratio. It washed out some of the color, but Shane won the Oscar for Best Cinematography! Keep up the good work -- I'm subscribed!

[@brianwayes3536]

Me too. Watched it in ‘53 when I was 19. I’m 88 now and still watching.

Iam remember SHANE very nice Movies , this program very beautiful Thank you so much

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello and thank you, once again for sharing another informative video. 'Shane' was my all time favorite movie. I have probably seen the move ten times. Tell Sarah to check the movie. All the best to you folks. Please keep these great videos coming along. 🤗

[@jbenziggy]

Ronald Rose thank you so much! More videos are in the works!

[@johncarson7472]

I really enjoy your channel and your videos. I appreciate the care you take in selecting and producing your videos. It would sure be great if you do even more film location videos. And also other historic scenes like that Kansas City shoot. Very informative and enjoyable thanks so much!

[@whitedovetail]

Wow!! At the 7minute mark of this video, the shot you took of the Grand Tetons has got to be the most beautiful scene I have ever seen in your shows. Thanks so much for your creativity on filming this show. I know I am 3 years late at watching this, but I am glad that I ran into it. Made my day! I took several screen captures of this show because of the pure beauty. Your creativity constantly amazes me. Take care!😃😃😃

Saw this picture in 1954 at the Bensham cinema in Gateshead, UK with my Dad. Nice to see the location but a long way to travel for me now.

[@almeggs3247]

Really appreciated this ! My son when ~ 6 yo saw this together and brought me many good memories! Thanks!

[@jbenziggy]

That’s really wonderful to hear, Al. Thank you very much for allowing my video to carry you back to a pleasant memory.

[@dixonarevalo5953]

It was exiting to see the location of my favorite movie. Thank you guys, nice job.

[@jbenziggy]

Thank you very much! We had fun!

[@jlandon6028]

The Teton's are Spectachular!

[@lazurm]

"exciting", not exiting. ;)

[@benniebarrow348]

Such an awesome movie.......thanks for taking us along.

[@frankguyton9596]

Shane is my favorite movie I’ve been wanting to see the Grand Tetons since I first seen the movie and Spencer’s Mountain in the 60s when I was very young my wife and I just spent our 41 year anniversary in the Tetons for the first time we love the Tetons and the Movie thanks so much for showing places of where the great movie was filmed you did great job with the video.

[@jbenziggy]

That is a beautiful place to visit if you get a chance!

[@615855]

Shane has been a film I have loved ever since I first saw it as a young lad at the local picture theatre in the early 50's. I have seen many times on TV and I also have the DVD of it. I have never ever failed to enjoy it. I have been a western fan since my very early years but this film holds a special place with me. I believe the gunfight scene towards the end between the Shane, Wilson and Ryker characters to be one of the best gunfight scenes ever filmed.

[@edwardf6229]

Great Video and picturesque scenery. I was picturing Sara yelling out, " Come back Jeff! , Jeff come back", when you were out on Cemetary Hill.

[@diggingoonschmit]

Scenery is awesome. The killer antelope…… hilarious! Thanks Jeff.

[@mov1ngforward]

Watched, "Shane," again today and immediately after played your video. The cars in the background...Hahahahaha. A great friendship to look into is Brandon de Wilde and Gram Parsons. Thanks for doing such a great job!!

[@phungcanhngo]

Shane the best western movie ever.

[@marks6406]

I don't know how you could have been a kid in the 60's and not have seen or know about Shane.

[@jbenziggy]

Mark Sprague Who are you addressing that question to, Jeff or Sarah? As I explained in the video I saw it when I was a teenager in the late 70s. I was born in 1961 and Shane came out in 1953. Sorry never saw it in the theater.

[@roduhsanga4664]

thank you Jeff. You help me remember my favorite western film

[@jbenziggy]

Ro Duhsanga Oh my goodness I thank you so much for your comment. I am glad that it helped take you back a few years. We love exploring history and if you have not already done so I would love to have you as a subscriber!

[@jameskennedy1295]

That is some beautiful country!

[@billbearback2591]

Thanks śo much for sharing , in the 90's we visited the US for a ten year period each year and tracked Down every historic location and movie location we could find ,we had no inet then so it was a real mission. , it always felt like you were walking in a movie , because of to culture most of the US feels like your walking in a movie when you visit . There's a tv show called barn builders it's a shame national parks or someone couldn't pay those guys to restore/repair some of this cabins before they're gone , thanks again for sharing ,cheers big ears

[@kulas5936]

Shane is my number one western movie :)

[@bobpeckinpaugh2550]

If there were academy awards for you tube videos, you'd win hands down. I have a friend who visited there a few years back and he visited the same cabin.

[@jbenziggy]

Thanks very much! What part of the country was you guys from?

[@bobpeckinpaugh2550]

@@jbenziggy I'm from NW Ohio, my friend is from the Chicago area. My parents traveled all over the western US 70 odd years ago (Before my time) and dad always said Wyoming was the prettiest state he'd ever visited.

[@jbenziggy]

Bob Peck awesome. I’ve been through Ohio but it was back in 1975 when I was 14!

[@bobpeckinpaugh2550]

@@jbenziggy I live about 50 miles south of Toledo, and 70 miles east of Ft Wayne Indiana. All flat farmland but THE BEST farmland you could ever find.

One of my favorite movies. Ben Johnson interview stated in the fight scene, Ladd was on a platform because of his short stature. Really enjoyed this. Thanks for doing all the walking Jeff.

[@jbenziggy]

It was a memorable trip for Sarah and I!
