The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance {1962}.

leave a comment »

The great Lee Marvin finds a perfect vehicle for his talents in the 1962 film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. The actor portrays the aforementioned eponymous villain with vigor, humor, and ruthless menace. An iconic performance. John Wayne, in perhaps his finest, most moving performance, and James Stewart also are brilliant in this epic, gritty, taut western by John Ford.

By the way…perhaps noteworthy is the fact that Mr. Stewart is referred to as both “dude” and “pilgrim” in rapid succession during one of these videos.
