in the fifty the age restriction for film in brazil be the following represent no restriction and 10 year old and 14 year old and 18 year old . usually the western be allow for ten year old and when they have a bit more of violence they would go to 14 and but it be rare to see a western restrict for young than 18. winchester 73 be one of those and and i think this explain very well how this film be consider different from average . the hero and james stewart be fight against his own brother who have kill their father . he be look for revenge and seem quite traumatize and far from the average good guy . anthony mann try variation on this type of character in the next film he do with stewart . shelley winter and the lead lady be far from virtuous and she keep follow the man who stay with the rifle . dan duryea a waco johnnie dean be one of those great villain that will always be remember . the story of the film and which always follow the man who stay with the rifle and be one of the best suit for a western . it be to be make into a fritz lang film and which do not come through . when it be offer to mann he make a point of start from zero again and not take anything that be prepare for lang . with winchester and mann create a different conception of western and but still maintain all it tradition . winchester still be a great film to see again and again and but nothing will be comparable to the impression it make in those who saw it when it be originally release .
