"Watched on the 25th My dad actually suggested this to me a few months ago and so I finally got round to watching it. One of the few westerns I've actually seen with John Wayne in (although I have quite a few in my 'to watch' list). It was entertaining throughout and even had an alright twist ending, although I have to admit I guessed it before it was revealed. Angel Eyes(Lee Van Cleef) has a small role too! (not as Angel Eyes of course) "

"First viewing - Feb. 2nd/3rd I can now say I've seen not only one of John Wayne's movies, but one of John Ford's as well. And it was pretty good...solidly entertaining, good story, decent acting.

“"When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." John Ford was one of the many luminaries of the western genre. With one of his final western film”

"21.01. Blu-ray, 1st viewing DIRECTED BY John Ford It's good. The performances are good, the black and white is good, the plot is good... but it's still not my cup of tea really. The political side of it doesn't interest me all that much and it takes up almost half of the film. As soon as Liberty Valance - the film's most interesting character - dies (spoiler!) the film becomes quite a drag. Well, there's still a boozing John Wayne acting like an emo kid but other than that. "
