Shenandoah
Description
Shenandoah, a film well-liked in its day,
recalls Friendly Persuasion and foreshadows The Patriot as it tells of an
American clan traumatized by war on native soil. Virginia farmer James Stewart
has never owned slaves, owes allegiance to no one beyond his own kin, and
adamantly disregards the North-South strife rumbling just over the hill: “This
war is not mine and I take no note of it.” That changes when youngest son
Philip Alford (To Kill a Mockingbird’s Jem) is carried off by Yankees, and the
family must ride out to reclaim him. Shenandoah has several affecting moments
–notably a homefront atrocity–but much of it is lit and played like a
television show. Script and direction are formulaic, Stewart falls back on
cozy shtick, and the supporting cast is a collection of bland studio contract
players. As the closing credit says: “filmed entirely at Universal City.”
