Nine disparate travelers are thrust together on a Stagecoach destined for Apache territory...and movie immortality. As the Ringo Kid, director John Ford casr a lanky veteran of 70 B-movies, serials and shorts named John Wayne. Each rifle shot and closeup rang out the news: a new star is born. Claire Trevor, Thomas Mitchell (his Academy Award?-winning* performance) and others made memorable imptressions. Stunt legend Yakima Canutt provided hair-raising thrilles. And 17 American folk songs formed the basis of an Oscar?-winning* score. This adventure ushered in a 30-year era of great Westerns, many featuring its top practitioners ? Ford and Wayne.

Summary: Classic Western Overall Rating: Comment: 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 top of her game. Watch it. You'll love it. Rose Leith Summary: Stagecoach Overall Rating: Comment: 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. Summary: Stagecoach Overall Rating: Comment: I bought dvd for a gift. It arrived after the birthday, but they enjoyed the gift. Summary: A Classic Western Overall Rating: Comment: Stagecoach DVD 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 shotgun going through Indian territory with Geronimo on the war Path all make up a classic movie. The only negative is that you have to watch this in black and white until a "colorized version comes along (but that would be cheating) Highly recommended for fans of the Classic western, John Wayne, and just good old movies. Gunner February, 2008 Summary: Stagecoach Overall Rating: Comment: 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, very well done. I watched the movie three times and listened to the commentary twice before I could put it into my collection. This is the first great, adult western. You will be pleased with your purchase.
