Newt's John Wayne Site

In The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance director John Ford brings us to the lawless frontier village of Shinbone, a town plagued by a larger-than-life nemesis, Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin). James Stewart plays the bungling but charming big-city lawyer determined to rid Shinbone of Valance, and he finds that he has an unlikely ally -- in the form of a rugged, local rancher (John Wayne). The two men also share the same love interest (Vera Miles), but when the final showdown becomes inevitable, one of the two will attempt to get the gunman - but the other one will wind up getting the gal.
