Until James Stewart played a mysterious revenge-minded character named Lin McAdam in the 1950’s outstanding Western “Winchester ’73,” he was mainly known for starring in contemporary dramas and romcoms. It also marked the first movie in an eight-film collaboration between Stewart and visionary director Anthony Mann.
