“Shenandoah” is a Civil War drama film about a wealthy widower in Virginia who is opposed to the war on moral grounds. However, he is drawn into the conflict when his son-in-law is drafted by the Confederacy and his youngest son is captured by the Union Army. This fine drama was well-directed by Andrew V. McLaglen (“McLintock!” 1963) and written by James Lee Barrett.
The cast is headed by the legendary James Stewart, lending his talents and persona to the film. Co-stars include Doug McClure, Glenn Corbett, Patrick Wayne (son of John Wayne), Katherine Ross, Rosemary Forsythe, Paul Fix, Denver Pyle, George Kennedy, James Best, Harry Carey Jr., Phillip Alford, Charles Robinson, James McMullan, Tim McIntire, Kevin Hagen, and Strother Martin as the train engineer. The watchable top-rate “Shenandoah” (in Technicolor) was popular at the box office for Universal Pictures.
