Stagecoach

John Ford · 1939 CE · Film · Modern / American · Modernist

Nine passengers share a coach out of Tonto across Apache country: a prostitute run out of town, a drunk doctor, a banker with a satchel, a pregnant officer's wife, and an escaped convict picked up on the road with three bullets and a score to settle. Ford shot Monument Valley for the first time and put the camera on the ground under the running team. It made Wayne a star and lifted the western out of B-picture work.
