Review of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) by Jared H — 07 Dec 2007
A fascinating and entertaining clash of the titans western. Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne each completely bring forth their unique personalitites through the characters they play, and it's a treat to watch these two greats interact.
It's kind of like "American Gangster" in that it has two of the greatest actors to ever live in the same movie, except in this one, they actually have more than one scene together (burn on American Gangster).
This is a classic Western (sadly the first John Ford/John Wayne western I've seen, but I promise I'll see more), and an all-around entertaining flick that says a whole lot about humanity, law, and how the Old West encompasses everything that is unique about America.
