Features Stagecoach
Join us at the Greenville Public Library on Thursday June 22nd at 7
p.m. for Stagecoach, a 1939 American Western film directed by John Ford
starring Claire Trevor and John Wayne in his breakthrough role as Ringo
Kid. The screenplay written by Dudley Nichols is an adaptation of "The
Stage to Lordsburg" a 1937 short story by Ernest Haycox. The film
follows a group of strangers riding on a stagecoach through dangerous
Apache territory.
Stagecoach was the first of many Westerns that Ford shot using Monument
Valley in the southwest as a location. In 1995 the film was deemed
"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library
of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film
Registry.
Ryan Carpe will be leading a brief discussion after the movie and as
always there will be free theater popcorn, candy, coffee, and Jones
Soda. We hope to see you there!
