		Now that Liberty has been killed, the way is clear for Ranse to further his campaign but he wilts under the accusation of being a killer.
		He can assert Pompey's right, as a colored man, to drink in a saloon because drinking is part of a way of life he believes in and Pompey is his friend, yet deny Pompey the chance to educate himself and disturb the relationship between them.
		He had shot Valance from a dark passageway while the spotlight was on the gunman and Ranse Stoddard in the brightly illuminated street.

		When the outlaw Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin) comes to town, he is unruly, causes disturbances in saloons and restaurants, is feared by the people of the territory, and embarrasses Stoddard repeatedly in front of the woman who Stoddard wishes to court, Hallie, who is also loved by Doniphon.

	Tricksters and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - John Denvir
		He is the agent of change who by the end of the film has brought both law and the railroad to Shinbone.
		He is the outsider at the beginning film who arrives beaten and broke, but he ends the film as the esteemed Senator who has turned the Fordian wilderness into a garden.
		The lie, of course, is that Ransom Stoddard is the "man who shot Liberty Valance." Once Doniphon tells him the truth of the matter, all his public acts become deceitful because his political success is based on a lie; the voters think he killed Liberty Valance, but actually Doniphon did.

		However, Doniphon died a drunken, dislocated man. He built a home which he assumed Hally (Vera Miles) would share with him as his wife, but he lost her to the hero of the moment, Stoddard.
		Told in flashback, Stoddard (now a successful senator) tells of his run-ins with Liberty Valance (a wonderfully menacing performance by Lee Marvin, who decked in fl and sloping around like an ape, becomes a Bogartian Duke Mantee of the West) and how he conquered Valance with the help of Doniphon.
		Valance toys with Stoddard, firing at a flower pot above his head, wounding him in the right arm, and then raising his six-gun to shoot the young lawyer "right between the eyes." Suddenly the tender-foot, gun in left hand, fires.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE
		Stoddard survives the ordeal and discovers that the man who robbed and beat him was Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin), a sadistic hired gun that everyone in the town Shinbone fears, except for Tom Doniphon (John Wayne).
		Being a man of principles, Stoddard refuses to pick up a firearm, but the situation between him and Valance continues to intensify, forcing Stoddard to reexamine his principles if he wants to stay alive.
		THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE is a great movie, regardless of genre, which benefits from its solid script of sharply drawn characters, as well as a first rate cast that brings them all to life.

		While genre revisionism remains art’s eternal knot The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, a Western made when the Western was considered commercially unviable, still stuns to this day—it refuses to deny that the concept of America has become inseparable from its pervading myths, that legend is fact and back again.
		The massacre-like trashing of the office of newspaper man Dutton Peabody (Edmond O’ Brien) and his subsequent near-death beating by Valance and his goons remains the most graphic moment in Liberty Valance, the sheer anger and irrationality of the act resonates as though a rape.
		Yet the oddly unsatisfying presentation of Liberty Valance’s death, shot by Ford from a great distance, robbed of detail and swathed in obscuring shadow, is compounded by this with John Wayne’s eerie moment of quietude.

		The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance may be the saddest Western ever made, closer to an elegy than an action movie, and as cleanly beautiful as its central symbol, the cactus rose.
		Liberty was out in the street and easily identifiable, whereas most terrorists are in hiding or are unknown.
		The question isn't "is Liberty Valance bad?" but rather which approach is more appropriate to combat him - fighting fire with fire (as exemplified by John Wayne's Tom Doniphon, the only man in the territory who is not intimidated by Liberty Valance) or whether "law and order" should prevail, as personified by Mr.

	Jabberwock: Film classics: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
		The very first shot in John Fordâs The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is of a train pulling into a little railway station.
		John Wayne and James Stewart were 54 and 53 respectively when this film was made, and one of the standing criticisms of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is that they were far too old for their characters in the âflashback sequenceâ (which is, after all, 90 per cent of the film).
		Though a limited actor in many ways, he had the ability to convey the sadness and disaffection of a man who knows deep inside that his beliefs and values have no place in a rapidly changing world.

	Film Review - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
		The contrast between charismatic and legal authority in John Ford's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is even more interesting, because it parallels the difference between the values of the West or Wilderness (John Wayne) and the values of the East or Civilization (James Stewart).
		Wayne, by contrast, is the uneducated leader who believes that "You make your own justice here and enforce your law." He is the rugged individual, using physical force, not laws, in fighting Liberty Valance, an outlaw, because it is the only efficient way.
		Wayne is "the Man with the Gun," the old-style frontier individualist.
