    Stagecoach is a 1939 American Western film directed by John Ford, starring Claire Trevor and John Wayne in his breakthrough role to becoming a Star, then went on to become the BIGGEST STAR IN FILMS !!
    :jump:
    The screenplay, an adaptation of "The Stage to Lordsburg", a 1937 short story by Ernest Haycox. The film follows a group of strangers riding on a stagecoach through dangerous Apache territory.
    :tongue1:
    Stagecoach was the first of many Westerns that Ford shot using Monument Valley, in the American Southwest in Arizona, as a location, many of which also starred John Wayne. In Stagecoach the director skillfully blended shots of Monument Valley and other film locations in Arizona.!!!
    :wink:
    BELOW IS THE FIRST FILM CLIP OF THE SERIAL WE DID FOR T.V., !!!

    THE CLASSIC FILM "STAGECOACH" IN SERIAL FORM AND IN COLOR !!!

    Thanks Bill, really enjoyed seeing the ranch. Also, was surprised to see Jim and Sue .....boy, Jim sure "shocked" me there for a minute....thought he was DUKE!


    I know it was before your time with Duke, but do you know anything about the "Farm" that he and Ward owned? Did he ever tell you stories about it?
    Seems as if that was one of their favorite places way back when. I know Ward offered for Duke to buy his half.....wonder if he ever did?


    Thanks again for sharing, Bill. KPKEITH

    God, she reminds me of me! DUKE

    Edited once, last by chester7777 ().


    In 1880, a motley group of strangers boards the east-bound stagecoach from Tonto, Arizona Territory to Lordsburg, New Mexico Territory. Among them are Dallas (Claire Trevor), a prostitute who is being driven out of town by the members of the "Law and Order League"; an alcoholic doctor, Doc Boone (Thomas Mitchell); Lucy Mallory (Louise Platt), who is traveling to see her cavalry officer husband; and whiskey salesman Samuel Peacock (Donald Meek). :biggrin:
    When the stage driver, Buck (Andy Devine), looks for his normal shotgun guard, Marshal Curly Wilcox (George Bancroft) tells him that the guard has gone searching for fugitive the Ringo Kid (John Wayne). Buck tells Marshal Wilcox that Luke Plummer (Tom Tyler) is in Lordsburg. Knowing that Kid has vowed to avenge the deaths of his father and brother at Plummer's hands, the marshal decides to ride along as guard. :wink_smile:
    As they set out, U.S. cavalry Lieutenant Blanchard (Tim Holt) informs the group that Geronimo and his Apaches are on the warpath and his small troop will provide an escort until they reach Dry Fork. Gambler and Southern gentleman Hatfield (John Carradine) joins them and at the edge of town, the stage is flagged down by banker Henry Gatewood, (Berton Churchill), who is absconding with $50,000 embezzled from his bank. :vampire:
    Along the way, they come across the Ringo Kid, whose horse became lame and left him afoot. Even though they are friends, Curly has no choice but to take Ringo into custody. As the trip progresses, Ringo takes a strong liking to Dallas. :wub:
