Review of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) by Conner R — 06 Jul 2010
Easily one of the greatest movies ever made and a true Hollywood classic. John Wayne and John Ford always make flawless movies together, this is no exception. However, this falls into the extra special category in the same reign as The Searchers or Stagecoach; it signifies everything the western genre aspires to be.
I feel that this particular movie dealt with the idea of a legend so perfectly that no western has really tried since, except for Assassination of Jesse James nearly fifty years later. It has it all, beautiful cinematography, direction and acting from two megastars.
John Wayne and James Stewart really have some great chemistry together and really play well off of their very different styles. This is a movie that everyone should see, it's a true gem.
