"This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact...print the legend." – Maxwell Scott

Why watch this? ... finally! Two classic film titans, Wayne and Stewart, together on screen!

Plot Summary: 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.
