BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

ianlouisiana In "Stagecoach" the late Mr T.Post treads a difficult line between the original Ernest Haycox story "Stage to Lordsburg" with it's frontier values and the rather more liberal views of a mid 1980s audience to some of whom Geronimo might appear to be a freedom fighter rather than a brutish savage. His voice is articulated by Mr W.Nelson,one of the most significant Country artists of the 20th century who appears slightly uncomfortable as "Doc" Holliday,a man plucked from history to be the conscience of the movie. Having appeased contemporary sensibilities,Mr Post goes pretty much down the traditional Western road with a brave if not very bright lawman (Mr J.Cash),a bar girl (Miss E.Ashley),a gambler(Mr W.Jennings) and that most revered of American figures a pregnant lady(Miss M.Crosby) amongst others travelling on a stagecoach through Apache territory. It's a pleasing enough picture that lovers of TV Westerns should enjoy. There are some funny lines,many of which are deftly handled by Mr A.Newley as an itinerant whisky salesman,a role in which he was allowed to retain his English accent.Half - hearing a conversation about Geronimo,he says.."Excuse me..who exactly is this ..Geraldo.. fellow?" a line which,if spoken in American would have been meaningless but as he says it immediately brings to mind that most determinedly English of English bandleaders. Unfortunately,Mr Newley is whisked away in such haste as to almost appear rude,and the picture is rather diminished by his going. Nonetheless the second half is enlivened by the appearance of Mr K.Kristofferson as the Ringo Kid and he is twinkly but determined to get his vengeance on those who murdered his brothers. This is all good TV Movie stuff and my generation can sigh at the appearance of Mr L.Larue whose adventures at the Saturday Morning Pictures set many an 8 year - old heart a - flutter. You don't have to love Country Music to enjoy "Stagecoach" but it sure doesn't harm in any either.

pudding-andpie Sorry I'm one of those sad people that loves this film because of it's cheesiness. I adore "The Outlaws" and sometimes that's enough. This is the third version f this film that I have seen and even though I am a huge John Wayne fan, his version loses out by being made so long ago. It was one of those movies I tend to forget when listing my favourites. Then there was Alex Cord (Archangel from Airwolf), blessed with Bing Crosby as Doc Holliday and Ann Margret as "Dallas" that one had some great points. I appreciate that Kris is a bit old to be a "Kid" but hey the whole cast is getting on a bit. This film is a must for those who enjoyed the old Kenny Rogers series "The Gambler", well that was me....actually probably only me.

mishakitterpuss I saw this movie once and I've wanted to see it again for a long time. I thought it was great, especially with an all-star, country legends cast. Willie Nelson and Kris Kristopherson have an automatic explosive chemistry together that works to their advantage. Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, though both have sadly passed now, shall continue to amaze viewers for generations with their high-handed, traditional, western attitudes and sharp wit and sarcastic remarks. June Carter Cash is sassy and blunt (jus like they was in them IL' days). John Schneider is incredibly hot and sexy as a driver and might have been a bit hot=headed, though like i said, i only saw it once. it's not that hard to believe he plays the famous Bo Duke on the The Dukes of Hazzard (the original). Director Ted Post has expertly endeavored to make a wonderful classic come back to life. Stagecoach is one movie I'll not soon forget. i'll be sure to buy it sometime and make sure my own kids appreciate it as much as i did, and still do.

helpless_dancer Willie, Waylon, Johnny, and Kris play tough old west gunslingers who are on a coach in injun territory. This is a tale that has been told and re-told a thousand times. Nothing new here, but it may be a hoot for country fans to watch their heroes do a western. Not too bad acting out of the singers, except for Waylon. A cigar store indian is less wooden than he was. I guess the best thing about the film was that none of the gunslinging heros broke into song. Honestly though folks, Willie Nelson as Doc Holiday?
