Stagecoach (Criterion Collection) (DVD), Criterion Collection, Western

This is where it all started. John Ford's smash hit and enduring masterpiece STAGECOACH revolutionized the western, elevating from B movie to the A-list and establishing the genre as we know it today. The quintessential tale of a group of strangers thrown together into extraordinary circumstances, STAGECOACH features outstanding performances from Hollywood stalwarts Claire Trevor, John Carradine, and Thomas Mitchell, and, of course, John Wayne, in his first starring role for Ford, as the daredevil outlaw the Ringo Kid. Superbly shot and tightly edited, STAGECOACH is Hollywood storytelling at it's finest. Directed by John Ford. Starring John Wayne, Claire Trevor, and John Carradine.
