Review of Stagecoach (1939) by Stephen E — 29 Sep 2012
It sure doesn't amount to much when compared to today's impossibly high standards, but "Stagecoach" was definitely groundbreaking stuff for its time. With its warm blend of action, humor and drama, handsome black-and-white photography and daring shootout sequence, "Stagecoach" shines with the genius of director John Ford.
Time has made its cliches more evident, which has increased the film's number of detractors, but "Stagecoach" doesn't rely on these cliches rather than uses them to move its story along.
It's warm, refined and a good ol' fashioned Western.
