Beschreibung

<b>A new offering in the nascent Reel West film history series that focuses on that quintessentially American cinematic art form, the western.</b><br><br>Few lines of movie dialogue have had greater impact than the most famous line from John Ford’s 1962 masterpiece <i>The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance</i>: “This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” Although critics of the day did not realize its magnitude, with time <i>The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance</i> has become cemented in our popular culture. This film connects to nearly every Western before or after, from Ford’s own <i>Stagecoach </i>(1939) to Clint Eastwood’s <i>Unforgiven</i> (1992).<br><br>Coming six years after <i>The Searchers</i>, Ford’s other great late-career masterpiece, <i>The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance</i> may be even more archetypal of a changing West. In this first-ever book on the subject, Chris Yogerst unpacks one of the signature films of the post-classic Western period and one of the greatest works of director John Ford and actors John Wayne, James Stewart, Lee Marvin, and Woody Strode.
