The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)

Western • 1h 59m

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.

Disappointing

Paramount:

very good HDR, poor encode on the UHD, remastered BD is fine; stereo is a 5.1 downmix with heavy noise reduction
