Mannen som sköt Liberty Valance

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

There's a lot in the film if we care to notice.

...Ford brings the subject to the forefront. The film's point is simple: history is as much legend as fact.

Starkly photographed and often heavily screened for nighttime shots, Ford's picture of the West here is a gloomy one, often pitch black when the only thing that comes out of it is the beastly Marvin.

...a bittersweet look at the closing of the frontier by focusing on two strikingly different men who help one town choose law and order over the chaos of the open range.
