Closer to an elegy than a shoot-'em-up, this 1962 film was one of legendary filmmaker John Ford's last, and Paramount pulled out all the stops, casting John Wayne and James Stewart as a rugged rancher and big-city lawyer, respectively, who clash over a woman (Vera Miles) but ultimately come together to rid the frontier town of Shinbone of notorious outlaw Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin). The juggernaut of a supporting cast includes Edmond O'Brien, Andy Devine, Lee Van Cleef, John Carradine, Jeanette Nolan, Denver Pyle, and Strother Martin.
