Product Description

Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The: Centennial Collection

Behind the camera, John Ford, a director whose name is synonymous with "Westerns." Gathered in front of it, An ideal cast, James Stewart, John Wayne, Vera Miles and Lee Marvin. Now presented on two discs, with all-new special features, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance rides into town as classic entry in the Paramount Centennial Collection. Director Ford brings us to the lawless frontier village of Shinbone, a town plagued by a larger-than-life nemesis, Liberty Valance (Marvin). Stewart plays the bungling but charming big-city lawyer determined to rid Shinbone of Valance, and he finds that he has an unlikely ally - in the form of a rugged, local rancher (Wayne). The two men also share the same love interest (Miles). But when the final showdown becomes inevitable, one of the two will attempt to get the gunman - but the other one will wind up getting the gal.

What? John Wayne dies?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

I had a friend who argued that John Wayne only died in "Shootist" and "Sands of Iwo Jima," and "True Grit." But of course, he begins the wonderful film "Liberty Valance" alive, and ends it dead. So I would argue that Wayne died in "Man Who Shot Liberty Valance."
It is one of my favorite films of Wayne, and contains all the tropes: he is a quiet hero, loves the girl but does not get the girl, is a loner, and does not boast. His shooting of Valance is what allows James Stewart to become a successful politician, and at the end, we see the result of their two lives.
Very highly recommended for writing, directing, and wonderful acting throughout.

John Wayne as Batman and One of a Tiny Group of Classic Westerns by Which All Others Are Judged

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

Maybe the best Western of all time and a fairly simple, if impeccably directed, acted and shot telling of the “taming of the West”. Not from the Indians this time, but from greedy ranchers opposed to agriculture. In comes Ransom Stoddard (Jimmy Stewart, as if you didn’t know) who manages to bring law and order (or does he?) to Shinbone, an early Western town with an ineffectual lawman, but which also happens to have John Wayne at his heroic best around to keep the title villain and his posse of yes-men (including Strother Martin as the loudest and trickiest of the bunch) under control, more or less. He’s even kind enough to try to teach Ransom to shoot and defend himself, but Ransom’s a crusading attorney, not a gunfighter ( or is he?). Ransom even steals away Tom Doniphan’s (Wayne) girl in a symbolic passing of the torch from gunfighter to The Law as the force that controls the Western half of the nation. He also picks up the biggest steak I’ve ever seen off the floor of the saloon where he’s working (and actually calls this side of beef “one measly steak”) until he gets his big break to replace the outlaw and the rule of the gunfighter (did this kind of stuff ever really happen? Squint your eyes just so and you can see the seeds of Deadwood being sown). Come to think of it, I think I like my John Wayne with a touch more malevolence in him, which is why I’d place the Searchers slightly above this film — not for Ethan’s naked hatred of all things Indian, but for the subtext of Ethan’s shady background — the unexplained “fresh-minted Yankee dollars” carried by a Confederate soldier who still honors the oath he made to Jeff Davis & the Confederacy years after the war is over, and the fact that, if Ethan “removes” the little girl (Natalie Wood) who is the lone surviving member of his massacred family, his claim to the ranch and its wealth are free and clear. He even tries to bribe his own Jiminy Cricket — Jeffrey “Captain Pike” Hunter as Ethan’s sidekick and conscience to sit down and shut up and let Ethan kill Natalie Wood to complete perhaps the most cynically beautiful quest in movie history. But I digress, in the end, we’re lucky to have both films, and throw in Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, the Man With No Name films and — why not? Unforgiven ( even if it is a straight remake of Marlon Brando’s forever underrated “One Eyed Jacks”). But, that Big Break Stoddard needs to replace the gun with law books comes from the generosity and selfless heroism of John Wayne. Doniphan doesn’t get the girl he so clearly loves and who loves him as Big John sees the future more clearly than even Stoddard and takes the decisive action of the film to bring about that future — anonymously and heroically. And that action cost him the life he craved and could have had. And Tom KNEW all of this at the critical moment, making his sacrifice among the most heartbreaking in movie history — not exactly the image usually conjured by the legend of John Wayne. And Stoddard, held up as the Paragon of Virtue for most of the film keeps his mouth shut when he discovers what Tom has done for the town, the territory, but mostly Stoddard The whole thing reminds me a bit of the Dark Knight, with John Wayne (“Wayne”, heh. At least Halle’s name wasn’t “Martha”) as a noble Batman who sacrificed his own future and standing in the community to ensure Shinbone got the hero it needed, if not the one it deserved. And while Stoddard didn’t go full Two-Face, he did gladly take the credit — plus the woman, who does come off a bit shallow — both Stewart and Wayne are in love with her, but clearly her heart belongs to Wayne until Stoddard becomes the flavor of the month and holder of a series of prestigious positions of authority that came with taking credit for Tom’s deed. That’s at least a little “two-faced”. Like Batman, Doniphan acts outside ineffectual law enforcement and keeps silent about his greatest deed.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 22, 2008

Verified Purchase

ESSENTIAL MOVIE!!! One of the greatest westerns ever filmed stars James Stewart & John Wayne & was directed by the incomparable John Ford. The character of the film's title isn't made clear until near the end of the movie. The film is shot in black & white which fits its moody atmosphere, it's like western/film noir.

The movie opens with Ranson Stoddard (James Stewart), known as Rance to his friends, & his wife, Hallie (Vera Miles), returning to the town where they had met 25 years before. They've returned to the sleepy hamlet to attend the funeral of a nobody. Stoddard is now a Senator of the unnamed state & it's big news to the local newspaper as to why he's there. When asked, Stoddard begins a story that becomes a film-long flashback.

Stoddard arrives in a wild west town as a green & mild mannered lawyer who has no idea of the ways in the unruly West. He runs afoul, almost immediately, of the outlaw Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin). Their encounter leads eventually to the inevitable showdown. More than once, Tom Doniphon (John Wayne), steps in to thwart Valance's desire to harm the hapless Stoddard, who can't even handle a gun.

It's understood that Hallie is Doniphon's girl though nothing has been formally announced. Doniphon has even begun adding a room, with the help of his black ranch hand Pompey (Woody Strode), to his ranch home in preparation of the day they marry. But Stoddard, inept as he is, is appealing to Hallie because he's educated & she isn't. Stoddard, unable to have a thriving law business at the outset, washes dishes at the busy cafe that's owned by Hallie's parents & also begins teaching in a school he's started. None of this is viewed very highly because these were jobs almost exclusively handled by women at that time; Stoddard isn't a man's man. The conflict in the cafe sets the tone for the movie; Doniphon orders a steak & it's brought to him by Stoddard, another job not viewed as being masculine. He's tripped by Valance, who doesn't know the steak is Doniphon's. After Stoddard is tripped the steak ends up on the floor, an argument ensues between Valance & Doniphon over the steak. In order to stop the potential violent eruption, Stoddard picks up the steak. In this classic scene the entire stage is set for what is to follow.

Finally, there comes the showdown between Stoddard & Valance. Valance wounds Stoddard in the shoulder, like a cat toying with a mouse. Though Valance is drunk, he's still deadly accurate with a handgun. He taunts Stoddard into picking up the gun with his other hand, then he slowly takes aim to issue the coup de grace "right between the eyes." What follows is an incredible piece of luck when Stoddard fires the gun & kills Valance. The whole town now treats him as the conquering hero. At this time Doniphon kind of fades away, he gets to drinking, becomes bitter, finally burning down his ranch house, knowing he has lost Hallie.

The territory this all occurs in is seeking statehood, they turn to "the man who shot Liberty Valance" & send him as one of their represenatives to the territorial meeting that intends to seek statehood. In this regard Stoddard is well suited, able to handle the requirements of the job to represent the good folks of Shinbone. This leads to a political career in which Stoddard shines on the national stage, he's been Senator, Governor & an Ambassador.

But the truth is Rance Stoddard is NOT "the man who shot Liberty Valance", it was really Tom Doniphon, who had been standing in an nearby alley, witness to the gunfight. At the critical moment Doniphon shoots Valance himself with a rifle, managing to fire at the exact same moment as Stoddard, & killing Liberty Valance.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance has a cast that is way beyond superb. In a major supporting role is Edmond O'Brien portraying the drunken editor of the Shinbone newspaper. John Carradine has a small role near the end as a voice the cattlemen speaking against statehood. There's also Denver Pyle in a small role. Strother Martin & Lee Van Cleef portray the two cronies of Valance. There's also Andy Devine playing the town sheriff who's scared of his own shadow. It all adds up to being one of Hollywood's greatest westerns. The role of Tom Doniphon was an excellent one for Wayne as he stepped outside his normal personna, giving one of his best acting portrayals of his entire career.

So many flaws but a great film nevertheless

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

The largest issue with the film is the casting of the two main characters - James Stewart and John Wayne are perfect for the roles but many, many years too old. Put that to one side, and the film is just about perfect. Whether matters are best settled by force or by argument, and whether argument and the rule of law can survive despite a myth at its core. The events in Washington DC in January 2021 relate directly.

I enjoyed this film. I hadn't seen it before.
I'm not sure how I missed it, it's been on TV thousands of times.
I watched this DVD version.
John Wayne seems to be enjoying himself and James Stewart is his usual understated screen presence that works so well.
Lee Van Cleef is here before the dollar films and Strother Martin plays alongside him as Lee Marvin's henchmen.
Some great screen characters.
As I say an enjoyable film well worth a couple of hours escapism.

How the Old West ended.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

Great study on the decline of the Old West, mirrored in the person of 'young' Stewart's attempt to tame frontier town of Shinbone. Opposite him is 'young' Wayne as the craggy old style rancher. Between them is the lovely Miles, torn by attraction. The other scene stealer is however Edmond O'Brien as the alcoholic paper editor who champions Stewart, as the shooter of villian Marvin, even though he didn't.

this is one of the great films in my opinion. different type of western, very good acting and a very different type of "plot" to it. my copy does stick for a brief moment but is very watchable and for those who enjoy a good western or a film with john wayne or james stewart or lee marvin this is a must - the 3 of them together. very good stuff
