Questions arise when Senator Stoddard attends the funeral of a local man named Tom Doniphon in a small Western town. Flashing back, we learn Doniphon saved Stoddard, then a lawyer, when he was roughed up by a crew of outlaws terrorizing the town, led by Liberty Valance. As the territory's safety hung in the balance, Doniphon and Stoddard, two of the only people standing up to him, proved to be very important, but different, foes to Valance.

Western clásico donde los haya. Película para degustar en soledad, un sábado por la tarde, con una copa de vino en la mano. Cine puro.

Like Grapes Of Wrath this is so specific 2 another time&place but remains so relevant to here& now. J.Ford,theFatherOfCinemaNotJust Western

Almost the antithesis of a western movie, but tackles the issues that westerns struggles against, and some superb acting.

This somewhat complex morality tale has excellent acting, but still has that clunky old Hollywood Western feeling.

Not your typical western. Essentially debate between old vs new as well as pro gun vs anti gun. Very well acted from all, even Wayne.

A slow and contemplative Western that brings two greats from the golden age of hollywood together. Strong performances from both

6 out of 10. I’m always hopeful I’ll love a western with a high rating. They’re usually so mid to me though. James Stewart was too old.

Mixes archetypal Westen with new plot/character elements, some even subversive to the genre. Stewart overacts a few scenes.
