Key Performances:

  Andy Devine
  Lee Marvin

  James Stewart
  John Wayne
Movie Haiku:Complex drama with deep characterizations infused with irony & wisdom. Stewart’s the greenhorn bringing his law books west into a face-off with Marvin (as gunslinger Valence). Wayne, the towering giant of the prairie, is the moral agent, nurturing a world that can never be his own. Ford’s greatest Western?
