The acting collaboration between John Wayne and Vera Miles spanned five movies released between 1955 and 1968, but two classic Westerns stand out above the rest. John Ford’s 1956 movie The Searchers propelled Miles to global fame and is now considered the Duke’s most iconic performance, while 1962’s The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is another of Ford’s best works. Yet, despite The Searchers’ unparalleled influence on the Western genre and cinema at large, it’s The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance that scores highest on Rotten Tomatoes among Wayne and Miles’ joint projects.
