WITH STELLAR CAST "STAGECOACH" COMES
TO SCREEN IN CINEMASCOPE AND COLOR
With a cast that is truly all-star and in CinemaScope and De Luxe color, Martin Rackin's production of "Stagecoach" for 20th Century-Fox comes to the ..... Theatre On ,..2ft Filmed high in Colorado's Rocky Mountains in a setting never before used for a motion picture, "Stagecoach" stars Ann-Margret, Red Buttons, Michael Connors, Alex Cord, Bing Crosby, Bob Cummings, Van Heflin, Slim Pickens, Stefanie Powers and Keenan Wynn.
Directed by Gordon Douglas, the picture mirrors a dramatic episode in the American West around 1870, with an authentic stagecoach -which played such an important role in the development of that territory -sharing stellar honors with the ten stars. Joseph Landon wrote the screenplay which he based on a screenplay by Dudley Nichols from a story by Ernest Haycox.
The story delineates the reactions of a wide spectrum of characters under the exterior pressures of Indian attack and the interior ones developing among themselves. In its telling, tragedy is relieved by humor; the unpredictable response by the expected; suspense by action, as the fates propel the group into a brutal crucible.
Norman Rockwell, America's most famous illustrator, was commissioned by producer Rackin to create thematic material for advertising and exploiting "Stagecoach" and, as a lark, accepted a small part in the picture. He is one of
the townsmen gambling with Michael Connors in the film's second sequence.
