Review of Stagecoach (1939) by Simon Braund for Empire — 08 Apr 1991
What drew the crowds back in 1939 and what has kept them coming is not the film's simmering subtexts but the absolutely fantastic ambush sequence as the stage thunders across the salt flats of Monument Valley. With this, Ford transformed the western.
