Featured review
It's easy to join the caravan of people who enjoy this movie
With Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne leading the way, it's easy to join the caravan of people who enjoy The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. This movie tells a compelling story about the changing atmosphere of West as well as the impact of legends. It's also full of interesting characters, including Lee Marvin as a despicable villain. I completely understand why this Western is considered a classic.
