Review of Shenandoah (1965) by Amanda J — 22 Jun 2007
The unity of a family in a time of war. It may suffer from some schmaltzy scenes, but it also covers the darker sides of conflict - the loss of innocence - at home and in the field of battle. Stewart shines as the stalwart widowed father, living for his clean living family during the Civil War.
The moral heroics are sometimes a little irksome for modern (English) sensibilities, but it remains an interesting and quite stirring moral exploration of the nation as family in times of conflict.
