One of the best westerns, other then Stagecoach. Directed by legend, John Ford, it concerns a story told in flashback about a small wild west town called Shinbone. James Stewart is the senator, Ransom Stoddard, who returns with his wife, Hallie(Vera Miles), to see a friend, Tom, whos now died, played brilliantly by John Wayne. Flashbacking, it starts with lawyer, Stewart who is robbed and beaten by Liberty Valance(Lee Marvin). Taken in by Hallie and Tom, he starts to recover, helping out in the town, until Valance shows up. Later on there's a showdown, but I won't tell you who kills Valance! The film also shows the ramshackle towns rise to be a law abiding community, by putting in law and order against the ruthless money making open range farmers. Although not a western fan, I have to say this one lightened me up! |

One of the best scenes ever has Wayne, Marvin and Stewart arguing over who is going to pick up a dropped steak. |
