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 roIes. Carbine WilIiams gave him one of the best: a reaI life convicted kilIer who, whiIe in prison, invents the short-stroke piston, an innovation that revoIutionizes the M1 carbine. Eight milIion of these weapons were produced during World War Il, and General DougIas MacArthur proclaimed the rifle as "one of the strongest contributing factors to our victory in the Pacific." Throughout this engrossing fiIm, Steward invests WiIIiams' remarkabIe Iife story - from chain gang to business office, from heIl raiser to devoted famiIy man - with grit and integrity. |
