				Senator Ransom Stoddard returns to the small frontier town of 
				Shinbone for the funeral of an old friend Tom Doniphon. When 
				asked by a newspaper reporter about his presence, Stoddard 
				recounts the story of his arrival in the lawless territory as a 
				young lawyer and his fateful confrontation with the notorious 
				outlaw, Liberty Valance. Stoddard's tale delves into the complex 
				relationship between himself, Tom, and the pursuit of law and 
				order in the developing West. Dad's Preview: 
				This allegorical film chronicles the decline the Wild West and 
				the hard men who thrived in its chaos. The strength of the film 
				is its director, the legendary John Ford. This man knew Westerns 
				and he knew how to direct John Wayne. Lee Marvin was superbly 
				cast as the cruel, 
				sadistic title ruffian. Pilgrim, you're going to love this 
				complicated, black and white horse opera.
