Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 NOPE. Don't think I've seen it since all the kids around went to the theatre to see it when it opened. And my memory ain't that good .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Scatterbrain Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Y'all remember what the last poker hand Liberty Valance was holding just prior to getting shot? Y'all remember what hand he beat? I don't recall what hand he beat, maybe 2 jacks and something? As for the hand he held, too predictable cuz it's been done to death. Even in an episode of Law & Order.

The O'Meara Himself Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I presume you're talking about the famous "Dead mans hand" of aces and eights, supposedly Hickok's hand when he was killed. But is there any actual historical proof that that was Hickok's hand? Where did the story come from? I don't want to screw up the story, I just like to know the truth. Honest, I won't tell anyone else. The O'Meara Himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Will Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 At least two of John Ford's films feature the aces and eights hand as a foreshadowing of death. In Stagecoach (1939), the hand is held by Luke Plummer (Tom Tyler), soon to be shot by the Ringo Kid (John Wayne) while in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), Liberty Valance draws the hand just prior to his death. ....
