Film Description
A triple bill of classic John Wayne westerns - Stagecoach (1939), Fort Apache (1948) and Rio Grande (1950).
Stagecoach: One of the all-time classic Westerns. Geronimo is on the warpath in the untamed Wild West, but a stagecoach-load of travellers decide to take their chances and make their way across Utah's Monument Valley. The passenger list comprises an alcoholic doctor, a shamed prostitute, the pregnant wife of a cavalry officer, a shady bank manager, a timid whiskey salesman and an on-the-run gambler. En route, they pick up outlaw the Ringo Kid (Wayne) and, as the journey continues, each of the troupe are given a chance to show their true colours. John Ford's seminal Western made a star of John Wayne, and garnered Oscars for Best Score and Best Supporting Actor (Thomas Mitchell).
Fort Apache. The first of John Ford's trilogy of cavalry movies set during America's struggle against the Apache Indian. Henry Fonda plays the stubborn Colonel Thursday whose textbook methods of warfare appear pure suicide to everyone but him. John Wayne stars as Captain York, a soldier experienced in Apache warfare, from whom Thursday will take no advice. The film builds to the inevitable confrontation with the Apache masses.
Rio Grande: Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke (John Wayne) is the hard-riding hero of the US cavalry patrolling the badlands of the Mexican Border - a lonely and dangerous command. One of his men happens to be his own son. When the Colonel's estranged wife (Maureen O'Hara) suddenly arrives at the fort, Yorke finds himself having to deal with another formidable adversary. Yet the threat of Indian attack is never far away, and soon the two men must face the danger of the Rio Grande.
