The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Get a little closer and don't be shy because for this round our new theme is "Close Encounters".  We will be watching movies involving moments of connection, discovery, or revelation between people, or even between humanity and something unknown.

The shakeup for this week is "classic film pre 70s".  Combine that with our new theme, mix well and you get "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance".  This 1962 classic, directed by John Ford,  stars James Stewart, John Wayne and Vera Miles.  It tells the story of a senator who returns to a Western town for the funeral of an old friend and tells the story of his origins.

We'll discuss the movie as well as Westerns in general and take an interesting deep dive into the world of smoking pipes, including GAME OF PIPES!
