First sentence: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance seems to me John Ford's last successful movie; yet most of Ford's admirers appear to place a very high value on the three features that followed it, finding sustained significance in Donovan's Reef, explaining away the weaknesses of Cheyenne Autumn in terms of studio interference, and acclaiming Seven Women as a masterpiece.
