Review of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) by Andre T — 04 Dec 2010
American Western film directed by the master John Ford and starring James Stewart and John Wayne. Filmed in glorious black-and-white this film is a festival of amazing performances.
In the late 19th century, a U.S. Senator and his wife have come back to the small town of Shinbone, in an unnamed Western state, in order to attend the funeral of a friend. The senator is prevailed upon by a newspaper editor to explain why he has come to bury an apparent nobody, Tom Doniphon. The senator explains and the film unfolds in flashback to a time before the railroad came to Shinbone and the region was a western territory with statehood the pressing issue.Master classic!
