The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) starring Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Vera Miles, Edmond O’Brien
I know that the title ‘finest western of all time’ is sure to be disputed, but I stand by it. In addition to starring three of the great actors of the 20th Century (John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Lee Marvin), it’s a truly great story. It’s told in flashback, as Jimmy Stewart’s character is returning to the western town where he got his start. A bookish lawyer, many years ago he came to this wild west town, where there was no law. But there was a band of thugs led by Liberty Valance (played deliciously by Lee Marvin) running rampant. Jimmy Stewart plans to stop them by legal means … Only to find out that there is no one willing to enforce the law.
