Gene Pitney sang the theme song but only on the record, not on the movie

My favorite western is “Red River” but “Liberty” is right up there, one of the best ever.
It also shows John Wayne both in his usual role and in another.

This is THE western movie. It’s the standard to which others aspire.

*The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance* Tonight on AMC
The good news is that the movie is one of my all time favorites. The bad news is that it's on AMC.
Not only do they have too many commercials (I actually remember when they had none), but now they'll go to commercial right in the middle of someone speaking instead of waiting for a "natural" break point.

I attempt to watch any movie or tv show with Strother Martin. I’m attempting to identify many of the great character actors who participated in hundreds of westerns and other flicks in the fifties and sixties. Martin was certainly in many. And always memorable.

One of the ten best Western movies of all time.

Jimmy Stewart was too old for the part, but the supporting cast was incredible. Andy Devine was great. Lee Marvin was incredible. Strother Martin again proved he was one of the greatest character actors of the 1960s and 70s. Lee Van Cleef was still the best 60’s villain after Bruce Dern. And John Wayne....Damn it, he was John Wayne!

My mother took me to see this when a was a wee lad. I was absolutely astounded by the ending. I was seven, so everything was astounding!

John Wayne considered “Red River” as his best film. If you ever look at some of the famous pictures of Wayne, he wears a belt buckle with the Red River “D” brand on it.
I have also read that he used the same brand on his own ranch.

Watched this movie in a drive-in in 1966 in Columbus, GA with my future wife, sitting in a maroon 1964 Mustang.
