Overview
Questions arise when Senator Stoddard attends the funeral of a local man named Tom Doniphon in a small Western town. Flashing back, we learn Doniphon saved Stoddard, then a lawyer, when he was roughed up by a crew of outlaws terrorizing the town, led by Liberty Valance. As the territory's safety hung in the balance, Doniphon and Stoddard, two of the only people standing up to him, proved to be very important, but different, foes to Valance.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A reflective Western that frames its tale around a funeral, using flashback to question how history gets made and remembered. It's as much about competing visions of civilization as it is about gunfights.
