The Reel West Film Fest: Evening at the Kress
Monday Nov 3, 2014

1.888.861.7323 A lawyer in the Old West was a little like a fish out of water. Ransom Stoddard, played by Jimmy Stewart, soon learns this when he tackles local tyrant Liberty Valance (a bullwhip-cracking Lee Marvin). Farmer Tom Doniphon, played by John Wayne, provides the quiet but strong guidance that helps Stoddard eventually prevail. Many current issues in the West resonate in this film, including gun ownership, open land use, and the side-effects of rapid progress. Wayne’s character famously addresses his lawbook-toting friend as “Pilgrim,” a name that captures the double necessity in the West for people who are as committed to the ideals of civilization as they are to the blazing of trails.Date and Time
