If you loved The Searchers, try The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by John Ford, and they sit in Western territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Searchers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is

Dusk in a small Western town, a funeral procession, worn boots scraping the ground. A lawyer stands up to outlaws, a rancher saves his life, Liberty Valance terrorizes. Ford examines the myth of the American West.
