John Wayne stars in 'Stagecoach' presented by Carson City Classic Cinema Club
'Stagecoach' is a 1939 American Western film starring Claire Trevor and John Wayne in his breakthrough role. Director John Ford combined action, drama, humor, and a set of well-drawn characters in the story of a group of strangers riding on a stagecoach through dangerous Apache territory.
The film offers plenty of cowboys, Indians, shootouts, and chases, aided by Bert Glennon's majestic photography of Ford's beloved Monument Valley.
Although there were Westerns before it, the movie quickly became a template for all Westerns to come. In 1995, this film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry.
