The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

I like it more the longer I think about it. A beautiful, poignant story of painful sacrifice. A man doing the right thing, even at the cost of his own dreams of happiness. Brilliant narrative framing device of reminiscing characters. Amazing performances & cinematography.

Jimmy was just about to croak himself to sleep and yet he was playing a young man. This movie was genuinely too uncomfortable to sit through. The acting dude…

A very good western directed by one of the most iconic film directors John Ford and starring two of the most legendary actors in John Wayne and James Stewart.

I could watch this a hundred times and still be fascinated by these two actors.

Seeing Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne on screen together did something to my filmic mind that can thankfully never be undone! What a film, they simply don’t make westerns like this anymore.

Didn't expect him to die off screen
