A movie directed by John Ford, which starred John Wayne - It was the movie that made him a star. StageCoach marked the renaissance of the Western genre, and it is the classic of the genre - featuring Ringo Kid, fastest gunslinger around, the "good" prostitute, chased from town by the virtuous ladies, the drunken doctor, the crooked gangster... among its scenes are the attack by indians, the gunfight, the poker game where a character has the Dead Man's Hand, and of course the happy ending. It was the first of many movies made by John Ford that features the Monument Valley.A proof of its excellency is that Orson Welles viewed it fifty times, he claims, while "in training" for his first movie, Citizen Kane.
