Greatly enjoyed this great Western film directed by John Ford who produced many great Classic films. John Wayne, (Tom Doniphon) plays the role of a man who is admired by all the homesteaders in a local town who stands up against Liberty Valance, (Lee Marvin) who is a hired gun by the cattlemen against the farmers and homesteaders. Ranson Stoddard, (James Stewart) visits this town as a man who is a lawyer and works as a dish washer in a restaurant owned by Swedish owners who sell steaks that are so large they almost fall off the plates they are served on. There is also a newspaper man named Dutton Peabody, (Edmond O'Brien) who takes an interest in Ranson Stoddard and allows him to share his office space with him. Ranson tries to teach the local people in the town to read and write and he begins to fall in love with Vera Miles, (Hallie Stoddard) who becomes his wife after he encounters a confrontation with Liberty Valance. Great film with Andy Devine, (Marshall Link) and John Carradine, (Major Cassius Starbuckle) who gave great supporting roles. Great Classic film, Enjoy.
