Genre Theory and John Ford's Stagecoach

The stage coach is an epoch - making work of the 1939 American West movie led by John Ford, starring Claire Trevor and John Wayne. The script by Dudley Nichols is based on Ernest Haycox's 1937 short story "Lodsburg Stage". The film talks about a group of strangers riding in Hummer through dangerous Apache territory. Hummer was the first of many Western films taken at the border between Arizona in the southwestern United States and Monument Valley on the American border, many of which starred John Wayne. In the scene of Stagecoach, Ringo Kid which is the role of John Wayne, shots of Monument Valley, Iverson Film Ranch of Chatsworth California, RKO Encino Film Ranch, etc. are introduced. Throughout the monument's valley scene, there are similar geographical contradictions throughout the movie until Ringo (Wayne) and Dvor (Trevor) leave Lordsburg in the southwestern part of Mexico.

When Hummer was released, people forgot that the Westerners did not like it. The Ford movie revived this type, established John Wayne as a character type star that exemplifies his career, making John Ford synonymous with the West, and of course his career. Stagecoach is the first of many collaborations between Wayne and Ford, and the work of these two artists is creating American West's look and feel more than any other sound. Most of the work by Howard Hawk 's Red River, Ford' s own work, Budd Boetticher, and B - Westerns will be in the 40 's. I was in trouble at the movie theater in the 1950s. Other Western films, such as Robert Altman 's McCabe, Mrs. Miller, Sam Peckinpah' s work, 1960 's Western Italian movies, are using the Stagecoach model to break the western part.
