Sign of the times. Check out the scene exactly 15 minutes in the movie. You'll see why I say sign of the times. What is it, do you think I say, it's the sign of the times? Coin related; What's in the box?

This movie, which is now considered to be a director John Ford classic, was once rated as a low budget dud. Lee Marvin, who often played tough guys and hard boiled cops, was actually a bit of an intellectural who knew a lot about U.S. history.
Lee Marvin was a local boy here who, after being a plumber for a while, made the big time. Did not handle his booze well, but always had a big bodyguard with him (saw him a couple times in Woodstock - story not for here.)....Cheers, RickO
One of my all time favorite movies, love the character John Wayne played, the wrong man, willing to do the work and let someone else get the credit for it
“Nothing’s too good for the man who shot Liberty Valence.”
"This is the west, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."
The pardon is for tyrants. They like to declare pardons on holidays, such as the birthday of the dictator, or Christ, or the Revolution. Dictators should be encouraged to keep it up. And we should be encouraged to remember that the promiscuous dispensation of clemency is not a sign of political liberality. It is instead one of those valuable, identifying marks of tyranny.

Fun thread. Until it was on TV a week or two ago, I had never seen the iconic film. Amazing cast. Now those were steaks!
Read Lee Marvin's biography last year. Good book on his life/career.
Great song also, by Gene Pitney. But for some reason it was never in the movie.

Wasn't it Lee, who first brought the,"Palimony" into the court? Lol

"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Oh my, yes those were huge slabs of beef! That scene where the Marvin character trips the Stewart character that resulted in him dropping John Wayne’s steak is a great one.
