The James Stewart Westerns Collection will be available this autumn exclusively through HMV at a retail price of just 39.99.

SHENANDOAH (1965, 101 minutes)
James Stewart stars as a peace-loving Southern farmer who tries to stay neutral during the American Civil War. But when his youngest son is kidnapped by the Union soldiers, the landsman is finally pulled into the bloody conflict. With Doug McClure, Katharine Ross and George Kennedy.

NIGHT PASSAGE (1957, 89 minutes)
When the local railroad becomes the constant target of a band of desperadoes led by Whitey Harbin (Dan Duryea), officials recruit Grant McLaine (Stewart) to guard the payroll from further robberies. The trouble is, the gang's most skilled and lethal gunslinger, the Utica Kid (Audie Murphy), just happens to be Grant's kid brother.

THE FAR COUNTRY (1954, 93 minutes)
Set in 1896 at the start of the Klondike Gold Rush, James Stewart and Walter Brennan play a loner and his sidekick who figure to get rich by selling a herd of cattle at a fancy price. However, they are soon caught up in a conflict with the local lawman (John McIntire) and his henchmen.

BEND OF THE RIVER (1952, 89 minutes)
Man-with-a-past Stewart guides a band of pioneers from Missouri over the Oregon Trail to a new life in the Columbia River basin.

With Arthur Kennedy and Rock Hudson.

DESTRY RIDES AGAIN (1939, 94 minutes)
James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich star in this hilarious western send-up. As Thomas Jefferson 'Tom' Destry Jr, a mild-mannered deputy who doesn't like guns, Stewart is called to restore order in the hopelessly corrupt frontier town of Bottle Neck.

WINCHESTER ’73 (1950, 89 minutes)
Frontiersman Lin McAdam (Stewart) is attempting to track down both his father’s murderer and his one-of-a-kind rifle, the Winchester ’73. This leads to a rousing series of adventures for McAdam, as the weapon passes through the hands of such desperate characters as a crazed highwayman (Dan Duryea), an immoral gunrunner (John McIntire), a savage young Indian chief (Rock Hudson) and McAdam’s own murderous brother (Stephen McNally).

THE RARE BREED (1965, 93 minutes)
In the 1880s, widowed Englishwoman Martha Price (Maureen O’Hara) and her daughter Hilary (Juliet Mills) come to introduce the Hereford cattle into the American West. The women hire Sam "Bulldog" Burnett (James Stewart) to help them transport their lone bull to a breeder in Texas. But the trail is fraught with danger…..

Film Night at the Amersham

29 Oct. 2005 : Amersham Arms, 388 New Cross Rd (opposite. New Cross station), SE14 - 8pm-2am.

Essentially, a night of fresh filmmaking talent with an emphasis on the music featured - some are promos, others are about bands and some use the medium of sound as an integral device that brings the most out of the visual element.

The directors are music fans and individuals whose passion is cinematography and they are trying to forge a career with their exceptional talents - and it is only a matter of time before they are commercially recognised.

The established names of Radiohead and Patrick Jones are juxtaposed with the so-called 'unknowns' - the next generation of movers, shakers and big industry players to form an intimate night of honest expression, creativity and entertainment all glued together with exceptional VJ talents.

Doors open at 7pm
