Dana and Tom review one of their favorites Westerns, the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: directed by John Ford; starring James Stewart, John Wayne, Vera Miles, and Lee Marvin.

Plot Summary: Questions arise when Senator Stoddard (James Stewart) attends the funeral of a local man named Tom Doniphon (John Wayne) in a small Western town. Flashing back, we learn Doniphon saved Stoddard, then a lawyer, when he was roughed up by a crew of outlaws terrorizing the town, led by the tough but vile Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin). As the territory decides its fate of whether or not to become a state, the wealthy cattlemen recruit Valance as a hired gun to bully the farmers into backing down on statehood until Tom and Ranse stand up to him, and we see if the law will finally catch up to Valance's gun.
