“Too bad Fred Thompson can’t play Liberty Valance and show DICK Cohen Western law with a silver-knobbed whip.”
Uh, I think this is a bad analogy considering that Liberty Valance was a bully and the bad guy in the movie. Notice the two guys behind Valance? It’s Lee Van Cleef and Strother Martin. Two great character actors!
Fred Thompson should be Rance Stoddard (The Jimmy Stewart character) who everyone thought was a wimp but in the end was the one to stand up to Valance and stand up against the cattlemen in the battle over becoming a state. Fred is standing up to all of the demo bullies!
A great movie though. Most of John Ford’s movies are great, like the John Wayne calvary triology and ‘The Quiet Man’. Great movies!!!
