Questions arise when Senator Stoddard attends the funeral of a local man named Tom Doniphon 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 Liberty Valance. As the territory's safety hung in the balance, Doniphon and Stoddard, two of the only people standing up to him, proved to be very important, but different, foes to Valance.

Well above the average western. It's not as action packed and fast paced as modern movies or earlier westerns but I like the pace. It's a well written plot. Its core is about the birth of a nation, a subtly told romance and last but not least the demystification of glorious gun slinging legendary (sic) characters and the western genre altogether. I never liked John Wayne - James Stewart is wonderful though (although he gets even more handsome in his later movies).
