Stagecoach

1939 adaptation of an Ernest Haycox story

John Ford's landmark Western is a 1939 adaptation of Ernest Haycox's short story, "Stage to Lordsburg." It revolves around an assorted group of colorful passengers aboard the Overland stagecoach bound for Lordsburg, New Mexico, in the 1880s. An alcoholic philosophizer (Thomas Mitchell), a lady of ill repute (Claire Trevor) and a timid liquor salesman (Donald Meek) are among the motley crew of travelers who must contend with an escaped outlaw, the Ringo Kid (John Wayne), and the ever-present threat of an Apache attack as they make their way across the Wild West. (Rotten Tomatoes/not rated/1h36m)

Chips, candy, sodas, and water will be provided. Film begins promptly at 3pm.  The library's Great Short Stories discussion group will be talking about "Stage to Lordsburg" on Monday, May 8th at 6:30pm, join us!  For more information, contact Holley at 205-445-1117 or hwesley@oneallibrary.org.
