Ranking with <I>Stagecoach</I> as one of the greatest of its genre,
<I>The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance</I> is the modern-day western to beat
all westerns. John Ford, whose very name is synonymous with
"westerns," directed the ideal cast. Jimmy Stewart plays the bungling but
charming big-city lawyer determined to rid the fair village of Shinbone of
its number one nuisance and bad man: Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin). And
as if all that weren't enough, the biggest star that ever aimed a
six-shooter plays the Man of the title: John Wayne. Super sincere Stewart
and rugged rancher Wayne also share the same love interest (Vera Miles).
One gets the gunman, but the other gets the gal.

Senator Ranse Stoddard returns to the city of Shinbone in the Wild
West, to go to the funeral of his friend, Tom Doniphon. To a journalist,
who's wondering what the senator is doing in Shinbone, he tells how his
career started as "the man who shot Liberty Valance". As a lawyer he
came to Shinbone to bring law and order to the west by means of law books.
When the stagecoach is held up by outlaws, he is savagely beaten by
Liberty Valance. He survives the attack and is nursed by his future wife,
Hallie. Hallie is being wooed by a local rancher, Tom Doniphon. Ranse
teaches the people of Shinbone to read and write, all the while trying
to find a way of bringing Valance to justice. He finally takes up a gun
and faces Valance in a menacing shootout... Written by Tony Kessen
