Stagecoach (The Criterion Collection) Summary This Is Where It All Started. John Ford's Smash Hit And Enduring Masterpiece stagecoach revolutionized The Western, Elevating It From B Movie To The A-list. The Quintessential Tale Of A Group Of Strangers Thrown Together Into Extraordinary Circumstances--traveling A Dangerous Route From Arizona To New Mexico--stagecoach features Outstanding Performances From Hollywood Stalwarts Claire Trevor, John Carradine, Thomas Mitchell, And, Of Course, John Wayne, In His First Starring Role For Ford, As The Daredevil Outlaw The Ringo Kid. Superbly Shot And Tightly Edited, stagecoach (ford's First Trip To Monument Valley) Is Hollywood Storytelling At Its Finest.

This landmark 1939 Western began the legendary relationship between John Ford and John Wayne, and became the standard for all subsequent Westerns. It solidified Ford as a major director and established Wayne as a charismatic screen presence. Seen today, Stagecoach still impresses as the first mature instance of a Western that is both mythic and poetic. The story about a cross-section of troubled passengers unraveling under the strain of Indian attack contains all of Ford's incomparable storytelling trademarks--particularly swift action and social introspection--underscored by the painterly landscape of Monument Valley. And what an ensemble of actors: Thomas Mitchell (who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar as the drunken 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 Welles watched Stagecoach over and over while preparing for Citizen Kane. --Bill Desowitz
