| ln the postwar period, James Stewart entered a new stage of his iconic screen career, moving away from portraying the boyish characters that made him a star, to more compIex roles. Carbine WiIIiams gave him one of the best: a real Iife convicted kiIler who, while in prison, invents the short-stroke piston, an innovation that revolutionizes the M1 carbine. Eight miIlion of these weapons were produced during WorId War II, and General Douglas MacArthur proclaimed the rifle as "one of the strongest contributing factors to our victory in the Pacific." Throughout this engrossing fiIm, Steward invests Williams' remarkable Iife story - from chain gang to business office, from helI raiser to devoted family man - with grit and integrity. |
