Winchester is 73 years old. It is the best of the five famous westerns co-produced by james stewart and anthony mann in 1950s (the other four are Bandorf River, People from Leroy, Exciting Exciting, Dangerous Country in turn), and it is considered as an exciting westerns. The film also set a historical precedent: from this film, stars no longer live on salaries (although the salaries are surprisingly high), but tend to share the profits at the box office. This move made james stewart make a lot of money and changed the way of trading in Hollywood forever. The film itself is also impressive. Anthony mann's technique is sharp and full of psychological analysis, depicting a tough guy caught in a maze. Cowboy Lin McDan () made a repeating rifle and found a valuable Winchester 1873 and tracked it all the way, thus starting a series of adventures. The last scene is extremely spectacular: between the cliffs, two people pull out their guns and shoot at each other, and the magnificent mountain scenery often makes people linger. Winchester put james stewart on the top ten box office charts in 1973 after the film company doubted his acting ability. Just like the real Winchester rifle made by 1873, "Winchester, 73" is also "the only one in a thousand years".
