Certainly it's the weakest of Ford's major westerns, burdened with a schematic and pretentious Dudley Nichols script (the cross section of society on board the stagecoach), but its virtues remain intact.

Stagecoach holds our attention effortlessly and is paced with the elegance of a symphony.

Here, in a sentence, is a movie of the grand old school, a genuine rib-thumper and a beautiful sight to see.
