The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance**
(US 1962)
An eminent politician returns to the former Wild West town where he made his name, to pay his respects to the real culprit who slew Liberty Valence.
Typically tough-talking and folksy John Ford Western (in the twilight of his career as well as the genre itself), with a great prologue but losing its way slightly in some of the style and acting, which is sometimes overplayed but always reliable, from a typical Ford ensemble.
Written by: James Warner Bellah, Willis Goldbeck, from the story by Dorothy M. Johnson.
Producer: Willis Goldbeck.
Director: John Ford.
Starring: James Stewart, John Wayne, Vera Miles, Lee Marvin, Edmond O'Brien, Andy Devine, Woody Strode, Jeanette Nolan, John Qualen, Strother Martin, Lee Van Cleef, John Carradine, Carleton Young.
Photography: William H. Clothier.
Music: Cyril Mockridge
+ editor of the Shinbone Star Maxwell Scott (Carleton Young): "When the fact becomes legend, print the legend."
