About this product

Product Information

In John Ford's stark, melancholy swan song for the conventional frontier Western, aged Senator Ransom Stoddard (James Stewart) returns to the small town of Shinbone with his wife, Hallie (Vera Miles), for the funeral of his friend, Tom Doniphan (John Wayne), where he recounts for reporters his relationship with the man. His arrival in the town years earlier as a newly minted lawyer had been welcomed with a vicious beating by Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin), a flamboyant thug hired by powerful business interests fearful of the lawyer's intentions to stump for statehood. Doniphan, a rancher and feared gunman, finds Stoddard unconscious, takes him into town, and continues to protect him, particularly after coming to realize that the woman he loves cares more for the lawyer. Despite Doniphan's warnings that the only law in the region comes at the end of a gun barrel, the stubborn lawyer insists on teaching the illiterate townspeople about the rule of law in a democratic society. When Stoddard is elected as the regional delegate to the territorial convention, Valance baits the politician, a notoriously inept gunman, into a showdown. The film, which plays like a Western version of Freud's CIVILIZATION AND ITS DISCONTENTS, reflects the aging director's ambivalence about many of the beliefs that had animated his earlier work. Shot on two soundstages because of a limited budget and Ford's poor health, THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE blends a stripped-down look with an intentionally fractured, ambiguous narrative to stand as a haunting elegy for the fearless gunman, the endless wilderness, and the loss of freedom their vanishing betokens.

  • The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance one of the best movies of all time. Must watch - you won't regret it.

    Always loved the song by Gene Pitney - bought the movie since I'd never seen it before. Song not in the movie, but man, that is one of the BEST movies I've ever seen! Great acting, great writing, great directing. From the first scene to the last, I was anchored to the sofa. Fell in love with John Wayne!

  • Great DVD - little product protection during shipment.

    Great movie. I just wish the for the cost of shipping the item was better protected from the Postal goons than with simply a 'plastic' envelope - thus providing and hopefully preventing the crushing of the DVD case which unfortunately occurred.

  • What the movie is about

    Liberty Valance is loud mouth bully. Jimmy Stewart calls him out. Jimmy shoots him or did he. Now a Town hero, slaps on the back and so. Who really shot him
