SHANE / THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE (DOUBLE FEATURE)

Details

• Genre: Western
• Plot: The Man Who Shot Liberty Balance; Ranking with 'Stagecoach' as one of the greatest of its genre, 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance' is the modern-day Western to beat all Westerns. John Ford, whose very name is synonymous with 'Westerns,' directed the ideal cast. Jimmy Stewart plays the bungling but charming big-city lawyer determined to rid the fair village of Shinbone of its number one nuisance and bad man: Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin). And as if all that weren't enough, the biggest star that ever aimed a six-shooter plays the man of the title: John Wayne. Super-sincere Stewart and rugged rancher Wayne also share the same love interest (Vera Miles). One gets the gunman but the other gets the gal.; ; Shane; Acclaimed director George Stevens' legendary rendition of the quintessential Western myth earned six Academy Award nominations, and made 'Shane' one of the classics of the American cinema. The story brings Alan Ladd, a drifter and retired gunfighter, to the assistance of a homestead family terrorized by a wealthy cattleman and his hired gun (Jack Palance). In fighting the last decisive battle, Shane sees the end of his own way of life. Mysterious, moody and atmospheric, the film is enhanced by the intense performances of its splendid cast.
