About this product

Product Information

Regarded by many as the best Western ever made, STAGECOACH shot John Wayne to stardom and elevated the prestige of a genre that had hitherto been considered a B-movie province. With rumours in the air of a possible Apache attack, a motley group of travellers in a small New Mexico town board the Overland Stage bound for Lordsburg. Among them are the pregnant Lucy Mallory (Louise Platt); timid liquor salesman Peacock (Donald Meek); Hatfield, an aloof gambler (John Carradine); Gatewood (Berton Churchill), a pompous, embezzling banker; and two who have been exiled from town, alcoholic Doc Boone (Thomas Mitchell) and Dallas (Clair Trevor), a lady of the evening. Along the trail, they pick up the Ringo Kid (John Wayne), an outlaw who's escaped from prison to take revenge on the Plummer brothers for destroying his family and framing him for murder. As their journey progresses, the hypocrisy of the supposedly respectable passengers becomes clear, and it's the tainted outsiders who display courage and humanity. Described by Orson Welles, who watched the film innumerable times before making CITIZEN KANE, as his cinematic textbook, STAGECOACH is superbly made in every respect, layering humour and sharp characterisation into an exciting plot that includes a spectacularly photographed chase in Monument Valley.

  • DVD of Stage Coach

    I've loved this film with John Wayne ever since I first saw it: a very long time ago. I can now watch it when ever I want with my grandson. I'm very happy. Henry of Hereford

  • Classic 1939 John Ford Western starring John Wayne

    A classic 1939 black & white John Ford western staring John Wayne, with an ensemble cast. The characterisation is first class, with deep emotion and gripping story-line. Against the spectacular backdrop of Monument Valley, the characters, with all their personality flaws, are thrown together in a stagecoach travelling through the valley, pursued by Apache 'indians'. Well worth a watch and highly recommended.

  • The Classic Western

    This is the film that launched John Wayne from B Movie hero into superstardom. An absolute classic film. This film was also the inspiration behind Assault on Precinct 13 and was briefly homaged in Zombieland. A simple story of survival while travelling across hostile 'Indian' country by Stagecoach. Highly recommended.
