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 rumors in the air
of a possible Apache attack, a motley group of travelers 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 humor and sharp characterization into an exciting
plot that includes a spectacularly photographed chase in Monument
Valley.
