Edgar Wright says:
John Ford is another director whose big canvases I try to see on the big screen. I have vivid memories of watching MY DARLING CLEMENTINE on a 20 inch TV at art college in a stuffy portacabin and the entire class being asleep by the end. Not the way to see it. I have better memories of watching THE SEARCHERS projected big and bold at the cinema, so again this is my dream idea of watching this for the first time. LIBERTY VALANCE was released in 1962 at the tail end of John Ford's six-decade career. The same year, Sam Peckinpah made his debut. I am a huge fan of this director and have seen THE WILD BUNCH, STRAW DOGS, BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA and THE GETAWAY all on the big screen. But I have never seen this, his debut, and am excited to change that.
