They arrive in town for the funeral of a man who was the rock on which the waves beat but at the time, nobody noticed much; the steady, tough but true foundation leaned on by almost all of them at one time or another and taken largely for granted; a man who, though seemingly out of character for a person possessed of such strength himself, stepped aside to let others pass to take credit after the work was done. Broken at last from within himself, recognizing unconquerable personal forces from people he loves or respects for the common cause necessary to tame the frontier, he knows he can never hope to win or make happy what he desires most - Hallie the waitress .
One of the first thrills the viewer sees are the ice blue eyes of Lee Marvin, enhanced threefold by the neckerchief covering the bottom half of his face during the holdup that starts the story off. Even though the film is in black and white, the color of those piercing, deadly eyes is readily apparent. Lee Marvin did a splendid job as the outlaw, Liberty Valance - I can think of no other actor better suited to compliment the characters of John Wayne as Tom Donovan, a rough and ready settler ready to defend his property by the means at hand - which means his gun, which is all the law he has ever counted on; and James Stewart as Rance Stoddard, the Eastern Attorney who knows things must change if they are to have a community.
One of the best of the best, and once seen, it's one you won't forget. So for someone searching for an old movie, one that won't disappoint no matter how much time passes, this is one to view. |
