Michael F @RT01580865 05/21/2025 Great Movie and character development. A must see. See more 09/20/2020 It's a little corny, sure. But also innocent and sweet. A totally different role for John Wayne. There are some really funny moments showing how superstitious the folk of the Appalachiens were. It's a good history lesson as well. I appreciated that there could be violence without gore- imagination is enough in a film like this. I also loved watching Wayne work with his hero and father-figure, Harry Carey (Sr) - you can see where Wayne copied his upper body movements if you watch Carey carefully. It's also beautifully filmed. Kudos to Betty Field for being able to run around barefoot throughout the film! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

It's obvious that the character development in this movie was very well-thought out. See more 10/09/2014 150505: Took me a little bit of rewinding to figure out what had occurred in this story. Not a bad film. Bit predictable but not bad. Decent acting. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 08/17/2014 The Shepherd of the Hills is an excellent film. It is about a young Ozark backwoodsman forsworn to kill his father, who years earlier abandoned his mother. John Wayne and Betty Field give fantastic performances. The screenplay is well written. Henry Hathaway did a great job directing. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and adventure. The Shepherd of the Hills is a must see. See more 04/25/2014 The Duke is a bit more introverted in this than was usual, delivering a quiet strong piece of work. Solid supporting work from the rest of the cast and beautiful Technicolor photography. See more Read all reviews
