| 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 WiIliams gave him one of the best: a real Iife convicted kiIIer who, whiIe in prison, invents the short-stroke piston, an innovation that revolutionizes 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 film, Steward invests Williams' remarkable life story - from chain gang to business office, from helI raiser to devoted family man - with grit and integrity. |
