Description:
Nine passengers ride a stage through Apache territory...and into movie immortality. The John Ford classic that won two Academy Awards(R) and made John Wayne a star. Year: 1939 Director: John Ford Starring: Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Andy Devine,
Amazon.com essential video:
This landmark 1939 Western began the legendary relationshipbetween John Ford and John Wayne, and became the standard for all subsequentWesterns. It solidified Ford as a major director and established Wayne as a charismaticscreen presence. Seen today, Stagecoach still impresses as the first matureinstance of a Western that is both mythic and poetic. The story about a cross-section oftroubled passengers unraveling under the strain of Indian attack contains all of Ford'sincomparable storytelling trademarks--particularly swift action and socialintrospection--underscored by the painterly landscape of Monument Valley. And what anensemble of actors: Thomas Mitchell (who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar as thedrunken doctor), Claire Trevor, Donald Meek, Andy Devine, and the magical John Carradine.Due to the film's striking use of chiaroscuro lighting and low ceilings, Orson Welleswatched Stagecoach over and over while preparing for Citizen Kane. --Bill Desowitz

Rating:  - Classic Western
Stagecoach is without question one of the top three western movies of all time.It's a joy to see the young John Wayne come into his own in this great movie.An interesting sidelight is that the director, the renowned John Ford, suggested that Wayne do his classic look of putting his head down and looking up.He used that move from then on.In addition, thiis was the beginning of a long and successful relationship with Ford. The other actors gave great performances and Claire Trevor was at the ... Read More

If you want to know where all of the American Western clichés came from, look no further, this film has got them all! From shoot-outs, to the cavalry arriving just in time, to riding into the sunset this movie is the standard by which all spaghetti Westerns are measured. It's a positively delightful movie with unforgettable characters. If you're not a fan but want a Western movie, this is the one.

It's been made more than once, but I don't think it's been made better.This is a classic in every sense of the word.John Wayne in one of his earliest movies plays the Ringo Kid or just Ringo to my friends.
A confederate gambler, an alcoholic ex-Union doctor, a woman of ill-repute with a heart of gold,a crooked banker, a whiskey drummer with samples and a fat and happy driver sitting next to the town marshal riding shotgungoing through Indian territory ... Read More

If you're looking at ordering Stagecoach, you probably don't need me to tell you that it's a great movie.Yes, it's in black and white.Yes, it's a little grainy.Yes, its on a square screen.That will keep the brats who don't like looking at a movie in black and white from seeing it.This is a movie for the more informed, the more enlightened.
The movie itself is excellent and complete.It deserves its four stars.The commentary which accompanies the movie as a special feature is very, ... Read More
