Westember Day 16: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)

     Today we look at another John Ford masterpiece, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962).

     This film is more restrained then much of Ford's other work and may be his tightest film. In some ways it really feels like the culmination of all his earlier work, questioning and reaffirming the core ideas of the genre.

     Tomorrow, a film that looks at the genre from the outside in.
