Review of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) by Brian S — 12 Jul 2008
A solid, entertaining western with a historically political spin. Stewart seems a little out-of-place in the sense that Ford seemingly tried to cast Jefferson Smith 23 years after he was appropriate. Wayne, however, makes the story work with his portrayal of the iconoclastic tough who had the woman of his dreams stolen right out from under him.
Marvin additionally contributes some of the western genre's best villainy. a great clash of characters, ideologies, and so-called truths. when legend becomes fact, print the legend....pilgrim.
