Stagecoach: A story about a group of people traveling by stagecoach who face the threat of Geronimo (the leader of the Apaches) and learn about each other along the way. Stagecoach (1939) Director: John Ford Screenplay: Ernest Haycox (original story), Dudley Nichols (screenplay), Ben Hecht (uncredited) Starring: John Wayne, Claire Trevor, Andy Devine Genre: Adventure, Drama, Western Country: United States Language: English Release Date: February 10, 1939 (USA) Filming Location: Monument Valley, Utah, USA Synopsis: A simple stagecoach trip takes a turn when Geronimo (the leader of the Apaches) is fighting nearby. The passengers include a drunk doctor, two women, a bank manager who has run off with his clients' money, and the famous Ringo Kid. Review: "Everything about this movie is so perfectly crafted. It portrays basic human emotions in such a simple way that it resonates with you again and again. I don't think there's any other movie that is so serious about human nature. All of the basic human virtues and vices are depicted in this movie. But what I found particularly impressive was the depiction of basic human decency, something that I feel Hollywood has completely forgotten. Ringo's (John Wayne) behavior towards Dallas (Claire Trevor), especially when the other passengers shun her, assuming she's a prostitute, reminds us of the basic human decency we should respect. He is kind to her not just because he wants to be kind, but because she is kind to others. She wins Ringo's respect by her good deeds, just like Mary Magdalene won the respect of Jesus. The visuals in this movie are truly astonishing. It's like a painting that has been painstakingly crafted from start to finish. But it's the depiction of basic human virtues, stripped of all social pretensions, that resonates the most." And no other film has portrayed this so powerfully. "richard-1787" on IMDb.com "I'm not a big fan of westerns, but there are some I really like. Stagecoach is one of them, and I think it's a great movie, not just as a western, but in any genre. Everything about this movie is so good, it's no wonder Orson Welles watched it 40 times while preparing Citizen Kane. The cinematography is so beautiful, and the scenery in Monument Valley is always spectacular. The music is so good, and the story is simple but always engaging. The script is well written, and the characters are all so fascinating. Plus, the big chase scene is one of the best action scenes in the history of cinema. As the story progresses, the true nature of the characters is revealed. John Ford's direction is brilliant, and the actors' performances are superb. John Wayne gives one of the best performances of his career, and John Carradine is also impressive. But it's Thomas Mitchell who really stands out. Overall, this movie is a classic that set the standard for westerns. 10/10" "The Little Songbird" Also known as (AKA) on IMDb.com: Stagecoach Argentina: La diligencia Austria: Höllenfahrt nach Santa Fé Belgium (Flemish title): De fantastische rit Brazil: No Tempo das Diligências Bulgaria (Bulgarian title): Дилижансът Canada (French title): La chevauchée fantastique China (Chinese title): Guanshan Feiduo Croatia: Poštanska kočija Denmark: Diligencen Egypt (Arabic title): Arabat aljiad Finland: Hyökkäys erämaassa Finland (Swedish title): Anfall i öknen France (literal title): La Diligence France: La Chevauchée fantastique Germany: Höllenfahrt nach Santa Fé Greece (transliterated title): I amaxa tis agonias Greece (reissue title): I tahydromiki amaxa Greece: Η Άμαξα της Αγωνίας Hungary: Hatosfogat Italy: Ombre rosse Japan: Ekibasha Japan (Japanese title): Stagecoach (1939) Lithuania: Diližanas Mexico: La diligencia Norway: Siste vogn til Lordsbury Norway (DVD title): Diligencen Poland: Dyliżans Portugal: Cavalgada Heróica Romania: Diligenta Serbia: Poštanska kočija Slovenia (literal title): Postna kocija Soviet Union (Russian title): Дилижанс Spain (Catalan title): La diligència Spain: La diligencia Sweden: Diligensen Taiwan: Stagecoach Turkey (Turkish title): Cehennem Dönüşü Ukraine: Диліжанс UK: Stagecoach USA: Stagecoach ················································································································ Support us! ✘ Membership - https://bit.ly/3rBewVj #Western #Cowboys #EnglishSubtitles COPYRIGHT: All films we release are legally licensed.
