When The Legend Becomes Fact, You Print the Legend

Occasionally I think about canceling my cable; Not because I am such an iconoclast, but just because I am super cheap. But TMC is a very good reason to keep it. They are going through 30 days of Oscar and they just showed The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Starring John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, and Lee Marvin; Directed by John Ford.

Anyway, besides the scenery chewing, I suspect it's a good movie because the myth versus reality subtext is so close to the hearts of the people who made it. Really, there is no such thing as acting, and I'm not just saying that because John Wayne was in it.
