Stagecoach is a classic 1939 Western directed by the legendary John Ford, notable as the Star-Making Role for the even more legendary John Wayne.note The Big Trail in 1930 was actually his first major role, but it bombed and he spent the next decade making B-movies.Set in 1880, the story involves a disparate group of strangers — including prostitute Dallas (Claire Trevor), alcoholic Doc Boone (Thomas Mitchell), Southern gambler Hatfield (John Carradine), pregnant army wife Lucy Mallory (Louise Platt), marshal Curley Wilcox (George Bancroft), escaped outlaw the Ringo Kid (Wayne), and others — who all wind up traveling on the same stagecoach from Tonto, Arizona Territory to Lordsburg, New Mexico Territory. Besides having their own secrets, burdens, and crimes to deal with, the passengers have to worry about Geronimo and the Apaches, who are on the warpath.John Wayne had previously appeared in some 80 "B" pictures; most studio executives were vehemently opposed to giving him top billing in a major film, but Ford (whose first sound Western this was to be) insisted on casting Wayne as the Ringo Kid. (Notably, the actor was paid far less than any of his co-stars except for Carradine.) Ford, well known for abusing his cast and crew, reportedly brutalized Wayne to screw an effective performance out of him — and succeeded. This film also marked the first time that Ford would shoot in Monument Valley, Utah, the site that would become his favorite setting and almost a trademark of his films.The film was remade in 1966 by director Gavin Douglas, with Alex Cord replacing Wayne as the Ringo Kid, Bing Crosby as Doc Boone, Red Buttons as Peacock, Stephanie Powers as Mrs. Mallory, Mike Connors as Hatfield, Bob Cummings as Gatewood, Van Heflin as Curley, Slim Pickens as Buck, and Ann-Margret as Dallas. Ultimately the most memorable aspects of this remake are the in-character portraits of the main cast done by Norman Rockwell, used for the closing credits and poster art. (Rockwell also had a brief cameo in the film itself as a poker player.)The story was redone once more in 1986 as a Made-for-TV Movie, starring Kris Kristofferson as the Ringo Kid, Willie Nelson as Doc (Holliday instead of Boone), Johnny Cash as Curley, Waylon Jennings as Hatfield, and John Schneider as Buck.Many decades later, two brothers who were fans of this movie would be inspired to write their own "survivors escape from Hellish Wilderness" story, complete with a sympathetic criminal and a bounty hunter in place of a Marshal. The rest, as they say, is History.

comment
One Bullet Left: Hatfield saves his last bullet to spare Mrs. Mallory "a fate worse than death". There's another woman on the coach but she's a prostitute so he doesn't seem to care. He's just about to pull the trigger when he's shot and mortally wounded, sparing her. They are saved by the cavalry moments later.

Old-School Chivalry: Hatfield's primary characterization is his old-fashioned Southern sensibilities, including his treatment of Mrs. Mallory. For example he gives her his personal cup to drink from rather than the canteen.

Fake-Out Opening
 Stagecoach / int_50f17484
comment
Fake-Out Opening: Trailer example: The 1939 coming-attractions spot opens with....documentary footage of trains (a stretch for the Old West, but still believable) and airplanes! It makes no sense at all without the narrator's commentary: he's comparing the present (1930s) with the past, and actual footage from the movie doesn't show up in the trailer until the narrator says something along the lines of "What were things like back then?" (Weird, to be sure, but justified and even effective for a moviegoing audience who up to this point had probably never seen a Western movie, or at least one that was done so well.)

Adaptation Distillation
 Stagecoach / int_5a40d6a
comment
Adaptation Distillation: The movie draws inspiration from "Boule de Suif", a short story by Guy de Maupassant. The story is a social critique of French passengers trying to flee a hot spot in the French-Prussian War, and where one of the passengers (a jovial well-meaning prostitute) is forced to have sex with a Prussian officer to help the coach passengers escape. The movie changes the setting, removes the degradation of the prostitute, but leaves the social critique pretty much intact (with a karmic punishment for the crooked banker). A more direct source of the movie was "The Stage to Lordsburg" by Ernest Haycox, which had a "bare-bones plot". Ford merged it with de Maupassant's story to add more characterization.
