The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - Song by Gene Pitney

[GeneMcNutt]

I think of this movie as John Wayne's greatest Western. It ages well, and seems serious and believable. The casting is perfect and the characters are memorable. Of course, it's one of the saddest Westerns ever, also. I know that "The Searchers" gets a lot of acclaim, but I pick this as Duke's best Western, and the character he portrays, Tom Donophin, as one of the great heroes of cinema.

Good song and great film.

[basicaa]

I still love good westerns -- just don't find too many of them anymore. This was one of the best.

[ronetteloverz]

The Duke gets the job done every time...even with his eyes closed.

Why didn't this songmake it into the movie?

[kenlee95793]

@JD00014 The people who contracted Gene Pitney for the song simply released the movie without waiting for the song. Obviously, an oversight by the movie producers.

This was a film of real love, that never be answerd in a right way,

the Duke gone as alonley man.

[bookmouse770]

I remember when this song was playing on the radio when I was young - we all loved it. That stupid girl in the movie, Hally, she should have choose the Duke for sure, he built her a house, brought her flowers and of course we're talking about Duke here: 6'4" and blue eyes.

[inkenyo]

@bookmouse770 Haha. Jimmy was 6 3 with blue eyes... but honestly I have no idea who I would choose given the opportunity. Both of them are great

Great Movie, Gene Pitney could sing too!!

[richardoky]

Funny they they say he was the bravest of them all, but he shot Liberty Valance with a rifle out of sight of Liberty. But I love this move and now I know what the next one to rent will be.

[rubberrusso]

@richardoky he wasnt talking about the man in the movie he was actually talking about the ,man in the movie they ''thought'' killed him nobody knew who really killed him but 3 people

[sabrefreak]

Lee Marvin is awesome!

[marktayloruk]

I think Wayne made a mistake.He killed an outlaw but created a politician-apart from losing his girlfriend!

[SuperLegend1983]

@marktayloruk This is the price of dignity. Tometimes is better lose and be true. The acts of Tom Doniphon are increibles. I never see anybody do for a woman that Tom Doniphon do for Halley. This is the purity of Doniphon. He is increible. One of the best films of History. Sorry for my bad english.

[unopsec]

@SuperLegend1983 Your English was right on target!
