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, who 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). When the final showdown becomes inevitable, one of the two will attempt to get the gunman.
After the screening, join author Christopher McKittrick in conversation about his new book Vera Miles: The Hitchcock Blonde Who Got Away. Copies of the book will be available for sale courtesy of The Village Bookstore.
