Review of Stagecoach (1939) by Zack B — 25 Aug 2010
Great movie that incorrectly is believed to have made John Wayne a star. Still Wayne steals the show despite having the least amount of lines of anyone on the stagecoach. There's not much action save the end, but this is a great character study. Perhaps the greatest movie of all-time in terms of defining characters. Wayne's first close up shot is magical, and the chase scene with the Apaches is one of the memorable of any Western sequence. First Ford/Wayne film set at Monument Valley.
Film you should see before you die.
