Revealing mistake: When Shane punches Chris in the bar, you can see that Shane's fist actually misses Chris' face.

Revealing mistake: Just after orange-yellow letters announce George Steven' production of 'Shane' there's a dissolve to a long shot over the valley floor. Under the last credits a deer is seen in the middleground, farmstead behind and mountains in the distance. Cut to child stalking deer, cocking gun and aiming. Cut to ground level, with deer turning head so antlers frame approaching rider - then a tiny car is seen crossing in the far distance.
Answer: During the 1960's, there was a TV Series, "Shane," which ran for one season on ABC. The premise was Shane returned to the ranch to help the now widowed Starrett and her son.
Thanks for the reply, but my daughter already suggested that one. That definitely wasn't it though. I've never even seen that TV show. The one I saw first was Allan Ladd and no other. All the other actors the same as well. There is no other movie that I have ever thought this about.
