Come along and hear Chris Short introduce John Ford's Oscar-nominated western, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, starring John Wayne, James Stewart and Lee Marvin as Liberty.Why this film? Because the screening is a tribute to Lee Tamahori, and the film was a favourite of his - in fact it was the last film he watched before passing away last month. The Academy will be donating the evening's takings to the Vista Foundation.
"Director Ford brings us to the lawless frontier village of Shinbone, a town plagued by a larger-than-life nemesis, Liberty Valance (Marvin). Stewart plays the bungling but charming big-city lawyer determined to rid Shinbone of Valance, and he finds that he has an unlikely ally in the form of a rugged local rancher (Wayne). The two men also share the same love interest (Miles). But when the final showdown becomes inevitable, one of the two will attempt to get the gunman . . . and the other one will wind up getting the gal."
