Apologies for the late posting. Wasn't feeling well last night and turned in early.

Anyway, if you haven't seen this one, you're in for a treat. This is a good 'un. A good quality print, too. 8.25/10.

Film buffs in recent years seem to have veered more in the direction of “Searchers” and “Liberty Valance,” in terms of their Ford/Wayne appreciation society. But personally, I still prefer “Stagecoach.” Extremely satisfying film in just about every way.

Always nice to see Tom Tyler’s bit as the villain towards the end. He had a long career as a b-western hero, going back to silents, and then later, starred in the “Captain Marvel” and “Phantom” serials. But as evidenced in this, he could have also found a really good niche as a villian, with his steely eyes.

One of the best if not the best western ever.

That stunt-mans fall from the front of

the stages team of horses is scary.

Think he said he`d never do that again.

Woody Strode appears as (an uncredited) man in a saloon.
